Fiber splice protector configured to permit routing of a fiber splice connection along a curved path without degrading optical and mechanical performance of the fiber splice connection

A fiber splice protector configured to permit routing of a fiber splice connection along a curved path without degrading optical and mechanical performance of the fiber splice connection comprising:

• an inner protection portion having a through bore extending along a length thereof and being structurally configured to receive a fiber splice portion therein;
• a strength portion configured to extend along at least a portion of the length of the inner protection portion;
• an outer protection portion having a through bore extending along a length thereof and being structurally configured to receive the inner protection portion and the strength portion therein;
• wherein the fiber splice portion comprises a splice connection of a first fiber with a second fiber;
• and
• wherein the strength portion is structurally configured to limit bending of the fiber splice portion to a minimize bend radius so as to permit the outer protection portion to be routed along a curved path without degrading optical and mechanical performance of the fiber splice portion.
