Claims27
A breakout kit for holding a fiber cable, the breakout kit comprising:
- a body;
- a first clamp for clamping an interior layer of the fiber cable to the body;
- a second clamp for clamping an exterior layer of the fiber cable to the body;
- and
- a standoff on the body around which an intermediate layer of the fiber cable is wrapped, the intermediate layer being between the interior layer and the exterior layer.
A breakout kit comprising a body that holds a fiber cable by engagement with an interior layer of the fiber cable, by engagement with an exterior of the fiber cable, and by engagement with an intermediate layer of the fiber cable which is between the interior layer and the exterior layer, wherein the intermediate layer of the fiber cable is wrapped at least once around a standoff of the breakout kit.
A breakout kit adapted for holding a fiber cable of a telecommunications system, the fiber cable comprising an interior layer, an exterior layer, an intermediate layer, and a plurality of optical fibers, and the breakout kit comprising:
- a body;
- a plurality of mounting feet protruding from the body for mounting the breakout kit to a component of a telecommunications infrastructure;
- a locking mechanism for locking the breakout kit in place when mounted on the component of the telecommunications infrastructure;
- a first clamp clamping the interior layer of the fiber cable to the body;
- a second clamp clamping the exterior layer of the fiber cable to the body;
- and
- a standoff on the body around which the intermediate layer of the fiber cable is wrapped, the intermediate layer being between the interior layer and the exterior layer;
- wherein each of the plurality of optical fibers is routed freely around the first clamp and the standoff.
