Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9638752A1] A holder (30) for jacketed fiber optic cable (26) or ribbon cable (28) having channels (32) extending along a top surface (34), with constrictions (42) to hold jacketed fiber optic cable (26) therein upon insertion with nondeforming strain relief. Protrusions (40) between the channels (32) include narrow slots (44) thereinto to hold ribbon cable (28) therein with nondeforming strain relief. A splice holder (24) having first channels (70) having upper and lower portions (80, 82) separated by a constriction (76) with each portion adapted to hold a respective single-fiber splice coupling (84). Second channels (90) have a large diameter adapted to hold a multi-fiber mass fusion splice coupling (94) used with ribbon cable. Both the first and second channels (70, 90) having constrictions along their entrances of less width than a splice coupling (84, 94) to be inserted thereinto. Splice holder (24) may be adhered to a bottom wall (14) of a splice tray (10).
