Fiber Optic Cable Strength Member Bracket

An assembly for securing an end of a fiber optic cable to a termination point, comprising:

• a fiber optic cable comprising at least one strength member, optical fibers, and a cable jacket, wherein an end of the at least one strength member and ends of the optical fibers are exposed from the cable jacket;
• a tether;
• and
• a strength member bracket, comprising:
• a retention feature at a first end of the bracket receiving and at least partially surrounding the exposed end of the at least one strength member;
• a base portion at a second end of the bracket that is opposite to the first end;
• an elongated portion extending from the base portion to the retention feature;
• a first flat surface, on the base portion or the elongated portion, having at least one opening adapted to receive a fastener for mounting the strength member bracket to a mounting surface on the termination point;
• and
• a first flange disposed along the elongated portion and receiving the tether, wherein the tether secures a jacketed portion of the fiber optic cable against the first flange, thus securing the fiber optic cable to the strength member bracket.
