摘要： A single, reusable wrap for securing loops of glass fibers of fiber optic cables used in the communications field. The wrap holds the glass fiber loop securely by wrapping around the glass fiber and itself, locking itself in place via an opposing frictional lock. The wrap has a lock portion, a retainer/release tab used to aid in the engagement and release of the frictional lock, and a cylindrical lock portion used to aid in starting the wrap to roll around the glass fiber loop. The frictional lock is provided when the cylindrical lock portion is provided within the lock portion. The reusable wrap is easy to use since it may be opened and closed with one hand by a user. The wrap holds the glass fiber loop tightly without damaging the glass fiber and prevents the glass fiber loop from being pulled into small loops.

摘要： A fiber optic cable saddle for securing and routing fiber optic cables on a printed circuit board (PCB) or other component used in the communications field. The fiber optic cable saddle includes a body portion that may be connected to a post having a barb at one end. The saddle may be mounted in a PCB by forcing the barb in an opening provided in the PCB. The fiber optic cable saddle is formed from a soft, resilient material that permits the body portion to flex open and return back to its original shape. The profile of the body portion is a thin, closely spaced spiral. Each of the free ends of the body portion has a cylindrical projection integrally formed thereon. In a closed position of the saddle, the cylindrical projections are partially disposed within corresponding recesses formed in the body portion. Before securing the fiber optic cables within the saddle, a user will preferably mount the saddle on the PCB. Once the saddle is mounted on the PCB, the user opens the saddle by flexing a section of the body portion so that a space forms between the ends of the body portion. With the body portion in this open position, the user then places the fiber optic cables against the inner surface of the body portion, and then ceases flexure of the section of the body portion. This allows the saddle to relax and coil around the fiber optic cables, holding them in place. The fiber optic cable saddle is easy to use since it is self-closing and naturally wraps around the fiber optic cables when the user ceases flexure of the body portion. Furthermore, the saddle is soft and flexible so it does not damage the fiber optic cable contained therein.
