Abstract: A method comprising: cutting a plastic multicore fiber into two or more sub fibers; connecting each of the two or more sub fibers to respective additional fibers. Further, a method comprising: cutting a first plastic multicore fiber to remove part of the first plastic multicore fiber and provide a first sub fiber, the first sub fiber comprising a residual part of the first plastic multicore fiber; cutting a second plastic multicore fiber to remove part of the second plastic multicore fiber and provide a second sub fiber, the second sub fiber comprising a residual part of the second plastic multicore fiber; connecting an optical fiber to the first sub fiber and the second sub fiber using a connector.

Abstract: A device enabling a shotgun operator to carry an additional choke tube on the body of a shotgun is disclosed. Embodiments include a universal adapter end cap configured to be threaded onto the end of a shotgun magazine, the universal adapter end cap including an opposite end adapted to secure an accessory (e.g., shotgun choke tube). Accordingly, embodiments enables an operator to stow and carry a second unused choke tube at the end of the shotgun magazine. Some embodiments of the universal adapter end cap include a threaded opening that enables the choke tube to be threaded into the threaded opening. Some embodiments provide threads constructed from flexible material to enable both threading and push insertion of an accessory into the universal adapter end cap.
