  • Fiber optic furcation device including expansion chamber
    Publication number: 20090103871
    Abstract: An optical fiber device with an optical fiber extending from a first outer jacket through a fiber receiving device from a first outer jacket to a second outer jacket. The first outer jacket is anchored to a side of a housing of the fiber receiving device and the second outer jacket is anchored to a side of the fiber receiving device. The housing defines an interior which received the optical fiber and provides space for accumulating excess length of optical fiber generated by differential thermal contraction of the jackets and the optical fiber.
    Type: Application
