Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A strain relief device for armored fiber optic cable is described. The strain relief device can made up of a boot collet and a collet nut. The boot collet can have a collet, flexible boot, boot collet threads, and a camming surface. The collet nut can have collet nut threads and a collet nut slope. The strain relief device operates by having the camming surface engage the collet nut slope, causing the collet to compress onto the armor sheath when the boot collet threads engage the collet nut threads as the collet nut is tightened onto the boot collet.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A strain relief device for armored fiber optic cable, the armored fiber optic cable having an armor sheath surrounding an interior fiber cable, the strain relief device comprising: a boot collet having a first end and a second end, the boot collet having a collet on the first end, a flexible boot on the second end, boot collet threads on the first end and a camming surface on the first end; and a collet nut, the collet nut configured to be inserted on the first end of the boot collet and having collet nut threads and a collet nut slope wherein the camming surface is configured to engage the collet nut slope causing the collet to compress onto the armor sheath when the boot collet threads engage the collet nut threads as the collet nut is tightened onto the boot collet in a direction towards the second end of the boot collet. 2. The strain relief device of claim 1 further comprising an accessory mounting surface. 3. The strain relief device of claim 1 further comprising flanges. 4. The strain relief device of claim 3 where the flanges are hexoganal flanges.
