    摘要: Furcation assemblies (100) for furcating a fiber optic drop cable (10) are disclosed. An example furcation assembly includes a furcation member (110) having an elongate furcation body (112) defining an axial channel (130) with a front section (132). The channel front section is configured to accommodate and be secured to either a buffer tube (30) of a buffered drop cable or a protective cover (20) of an unbuffered drop cable. A flexible guide (150) is secured to the furcation member back end. A flexible protection member (180) slidably fits within the guide back end and is telescopically adjustable relative thereto. To create a cable assembly (200) using the furcation assembly, the furcation member is secured to the drop cable so that the optical fiber (40) carried thereby is passed through the furcation member, through the guide and through the protection member to form an exposed fiber section. The fiber end (41) of the exposed fiber section is then connectorized with a connector (200) and the protection member is slid over the exposed fiber portion and is connected to the connector back end (214). Furcation assemblies and methods for handling multiple fibers are also disclosed.

    摘要: An improved mechanical crimp provides increased fiber retention, while reducing the force required to form the crimp so that the crimp can be formed using a compact crimp mechanism disposed on a handheld installation tool. The crimp includes a deformable crimp tube and an optical fiber disposed within the crimp tube. A radial cross section of the crimp defines a plurality of alternating concave and convex outer surfaces. The crimp mechanism includes a base plate and a pair of crimp arms movably mounted on the base plate such that the crimp arms define a crimp area. The crimp mechanism further comprises an eccentric engaging at least one of the crimp arms and movably mounted on the base plate between a first position wherein the crimp arms are spaced apart at the crimp area and a second position wherein the crimp arms are not spaced apart at the crimp area.
