Abstract
A fiber optic assembly that includes a breakout assembly, a plastic sleeve, a first mesh sleeve, and a crush resistant jacket. The first mesh sleeve facilitates assembly of the fiber optic assembly by providing a surface with a low frictional resistance for the crush resistant jacket to slide over. The breakout assembly further includes a second mesh sleeve. The second mesh sleeve is secured around the fiber optic assembly and includes a pulling loop at an end of the second mesh sleeve for pulling the fiber optic assembly.
