Abstract: Optical fiber fanout devices include a housing having a fiber telescoping cavity therein. An optical fiber tubing receiving opening in the housing extends to the fiber telescoping cavity. The optical fiber tubing receiving opening is configured to secure a plurality of optical fiber tubes therein. An optical fiber receiving opening in the housing also extends to the cavity. The optical fiber receiving opening is displaced from the optical fiber tubing receiving opening by a distance selected to define an arc for an optical fiber extending from the optical fiber receiving opening to the optical fiber tubing receiving opening that exceeds a minimum bend radius for the optical fiber.

Abstract: A sealing assembly for forming a seal about an elongate object includes a resilient seal member and a loading mechanism. The seal member includes an inner wall surface defining a channel to receive the elongate object. The inner wall surface includes at least one annular rib extending into the channel to engage the elongate object. The loading mechanism is adapted to selectively apply a compressive load to the seal member such that the inner wall surface is expanded inwardly to exert a sealing pressure on the elongate object.
