The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic telecommunications cable assembly (240) including a main fiber optic cable (220) and a tether cable (244) that branches from the main fiber optic cable at a breakout location (246). The fiber optic telecommunications cable assembly also includes a breakout block (254) mounted to the main fiber optic cable at the breakout location, and an over-mold (260) that covers the breakout block and at least a portion of the main fiber optic cable. The breakout block defines a straight- through channel (306) in which the main fiber optic cable is received and a breakout channel (308) that branches out from the straight -through channel. The breakout block includes seams (302,304) with overlap configurations (326,330.334,338,343,353) that prevent the over-mold from entering the breakout block through the seams. The breakout block also includes barrier dams (346) for preventing bonding material from entering the breakout channel.

摘要:
A cable assembly configured to be deployed in a fiber optic communications network includes a pulling grip body disposed at an upstream end of the cable assembly and a preconnectorized distribution cable having a plurality of optical fibers and at least one strength member. The pulling grip body includes a pulling loop that is mechanically coupled to the strength member to permit a high tensile load to be transferred to the distribution cable without inducing relative movement between the cable elements. The pulling grip body is preferably formed by overmolding the pulling loop and the strength member with a flexible encapsulant material. At least one multifiber connector is terminated to optical fibers of the distribution cable at the upstream end. The pulling grip assembly and the preconnectorized distribution cable have a low profile capable of being pulled through a conduit.
