A fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable carrying a strength member and a plurality of optical fibers terminated by one or more fiber optic connectors. The cable assembly further includes a pulling grip assembly having a flexible line with a gripping end and an attachment end, a coupler at the attachment end, and a quick release assembly at the gripping end. The quick release assembly receives the coupler to releasably connect the attachment end to the gripping end. The flexible line is routed through a pulling loop with the attachment end and the gripping end of the flexible line connected at an end of the fiber optic cable. The attachment end and the gripping end are releasable from each other at the end of the cable. A method of attaching a pulling grip assembly to a fiber optic cable is also disclosed.
