    Abstract: A dust cap includes a cap body and a pair of opposing latches. The cap body is adapted to cover a connectorized end of a fiber optic connector and cable assembly when the connectorized end is inserted through an opening of an interior of the cap body. The cap body further includes an opposing pair of resilient walls. The pair of opposing latches each include latching features that extend outside of the interior of the cap body. The pair of opposing latches each further include a mounting portion mounted to a respective one of the opposing pair of resilient walls. The dust cap may further include a pulling interface. The pulling interface may be adapted to attach to a pulling member and may be positioned at a tapered nose of the cap body. The dust cap may thereby be a cable pulling cap and may pull a fiber optic connector and cable assembly through conduits and other narrow passages. A pair of opposing pulling halves may enclose the cable pulling cap or the dust cap without a pulling interface and at least a portion of the connectorized end of the fiber optic connector and cable assembly.

    Abstract: Splice housings for distributing large numbers of optical fiber splices. In some examples, the splice housings can be pivoted relative to each other. In some examples, the splice housings include flexible splice holders configured to hold multiple splices for a first subset of optical fibers while allowing passage of a second subset of optical fibers through the splice holder.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic cable that includes a plurality of internal optical fibers and a fiber optic cable portion. The fiber optic cable portion includes an outer jacket and an inner conduit, the inner conduit containing the plurality of optical fibers disposed therein. The fiber optic cable further includes a flexible conduit portion, wherein the flexible conduit portion has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is secured to the fiber optic cable portion and the distal end has a terminating device. The terminating device at least partially encases the flexible conduit portion, and the plurality of optical fibers passes through the flexible conduit portion and the terminating device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic cable arrangement including a plurality of fiber optic cables. At a central section of the fiber optic cable arrangement, the fiber optic cables are arranged in a core and are protected by an outer split sleeve. At end sections of the fiber optic cable arrangement, the fiber optic cables form connectorized pigtails. Transitions form demarcation locations (e.g., fan-out or break-out locations) between the central section and the end sections. The transitions include one or more tape layers and/or one or more heat shrink layers.
