Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic cable that includes a plurality of internal optical fibers and a fiber optic cable portion. The fiber optic cable portion includes an outer jacket and an inner conduit, the inner conduit containing the plurality of optical fibers disposed therein. The fiber optic cable further includes a flexible conduit portion, wherein the flexible conduit portion has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is secured to the fiber optic cable portion and the distal end has a terminating device. The terminating device at least partially encases the flexible conduit portion, and the plurality of optical fibers passes through the flexible conduit portion and the terminating device.

1-19. (canceled)
A fiber optic cable clamping system comprising:
- a first cable clamp configured to hold a first optical cable, the first cable clamp defining a first plurality of mounting holes including a first group of mounting holes and a second group of mounting holes;
- a second cable clamp configured to hold a second optical cable, the second cable clamp defining a second plurality of mounting holes, the second plurality of mounting holes including a first group of mounting holes and a second group of mounting holes, the second group of mounting holes of the second cable clamp aligning with the second group of mounting holes of the first cable clamp when the second cable clamp is positioned at the first cable clamp;
- a first set of fasteners being configured to pass through the first group of mounting holes of the first cable clamp to secure the first optical cable to a surface, wherein the second group of mounting holes do not receive the fasteners of the first set;
- and
- a second set of fasteners being configured to pass through the second group of mounting holes of both the second cable clamp and the first cable clamp to secure the second optical cable to the surface, the fasteners of the second set being longer than the fasteners of the first set.
