Abstract
A fiber optic cable guide may have an elongated base member that is curved along at least a portion of its length to define and limit the amount of curvature to be applied to a portion of a fiber optic cable while also defining the angular offset applied to the cable. The guide may be releasably attachable to a cable, and may include a cable retention member at each end of the base member that retains the cable with the guide.

A fiber optic cable guide comprising:
- an elongate support member for being disposed in a longitudinal direction of a fiber optic cable and configured for providing a radius of curvature to the fiber optic cable for changing a direction of the fiber optic cable;
- and
- a band having both a first end and a second end connected with the support member and configured to be disposed around the fiber optic cable to fasten the fiber optic cable to the support member.
A fiber optic cable guide comprising:
- an elongate support member for being disposed in a longitudinal direction of a fiber optic cable and configured for providing a radius of curvature to the fiber optic cable for changing a direction of the fiber optic cable, the elongate support member comprises a first body portion interconnectable with a second body portion;
- a flexible band having a first end connected with the first body portion and a second end connected with the second body portion, the flexible band being configured for being wrapped around the fiber optic cable to position the first body portion adjacent the second body portion for interconnection of the first body portion with the second body portion;
- at least one of the first body portion and the second body portion comprises at least one interlocking element for releasably interconnecting the first body portion with the second body portion;
- and
- at least the first body portion, the second body portion, the flexible band and the at least one interlocking element are integrally formed.
