HELIX PASS-THROUGH FURCATION BODY AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

원문 (중국어)

A fiber optic cable assembly is provided. The fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable with an outer jacket that surrounds a plurality of subunits each containing at least one optical fiber. The outer jacket includes an end through which the plurality of subunits extends. The fiber optic cable assembly includes a furcation assembly proximate the end of the outer jacket through which the plurality of subunits extends. The furcation assembly includes a furcation plug that extends longitudinally a length between a first end and an opposite second end, The furcation plug includes a plurality of grooves that extend helically about a periphery of the furcation plug between the first end and the second end. Each of the plurality of grooves receives a respective one of the plurality of subunits such that each of the plurality of subunits is wrapped around the furcation plug at least one time.
