Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the storage assembly includes a spool incorporating a first end, a second end, and a curved outer surface, with the outer surface being adapted for winding optical fibers thereon. A mounting arm extends from the spool, with an adapter engaging the distal end of the mounting arm. Preferably, the adapter has a receptacle formed therethrough, with the receptacle being adapted to receive and mount an optical fiber coupler therein. The assembly is configured to mount to a faceplate.

Abstract: A strain relief housing for use in a communication plug terminating a cable carrying a plurality of conductors. The housing includes a plurality of prongs for segregating the conductors from a cable that is received through a passage in the housing. Means for anchoring the cable in the passage serve to effectively eliminate stress on the electrical connections with the conductors inside the plug. In a preferred embodiment, the strain relief housing segregates the conductors in a substantially circular array, largely conforming to the arrangement of the conductors in a round cable.
