Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus for use in a fiber optic network includes a furcation tube having a first end and a second end. An optical fiber passes through the furcation tube, the optical fiber having an end portion that extends outwardly beyond the second end of the furcation tube. A heat-recoverable tube fixes the optical fiber relative to the furcation tube adjacent the second end of the furcation tube, the heat-recoverable tube having a first portion affixed to the furcation tube and a second portion affixed to the end portion of the optical fiber.
