Claims11
A fiber optic cable comprising:
- a plurality of optical fibers;
- a flexible conduit portion defining a plurality of corrugations and extending to a first end, wherein the plurality of optical fibers pass through the flexible conduit portion;
- and
- a terminating device secured to the first end of the flexible conduit portion such that the plurality of optical fibers pass through and exit the terminating device, the terminating device including a plurality of securing protrusions extending in a radial direction to engage with indentations or grooves in the corrugations of the flexible conduit portion to prevent axial movement of the flexible conduit portion relative to the terminating device.
