Abstract: A fiber optic furcation assembly includes a main fiber optic cable structure, a plurality of furcation tubes, and a housing with a cavity including a transition portion. A plurality of optical fibers each continuously and uninterruptedly extends through an end portion of a jacket of the main fiber optic cable structure, the transition portion of the cavity of the housing, and a respective one of the plurality of furcation tubes. In one embodiment, the cavity includes a securing portion including a plurality of protrusions. The plurality of protrusions defines a plurality of locating channels and at least one securing channel that intersects the locating channels. Bonding material is positioned within the securing channel and bonds the plurality of furcation tubes to the plurality of protrusions. In another embodiment, a cable mount includes a housing attachment, a cable jacket attachment, and a passage. The housing attachment is mounted within a port of the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fiber optic furcation assembly (1) which comprises an over-molded body (2) formed from a flexible material, having a first end (15) and an opposed second end (16), the first end (15) being adapted to receive a portion of a fiber optic distribution cable (3) having at least two optical fibers (7), and the second end (16) being adapted to receive a portion of at least one furcation cable jacket (13) sheathing at least one furcated optical fiber (7?) from the fiber optic distribution cable (3), at least one of the fiber optic distribution cable (3) and the furcation cable jacket (13) comprising reinforcement members (9, 12). To reduce the load of the optical fibers (7) within the furcation assembly at least a portion of the reinforcement members (9, 12) is anchored within the over-molded body (2) so as to transmit a load from the over-molded body via the anchored reinforcement members (9, 12) to the respective cable (3, 4).

Abstract: A method of controlling a heating system includes regulating feed temperature of the heat carrying medium as a function of the differential between the feed medium temperature and the return medium temperature, and limiting the lower limit of the temperature of the feed medium to a predetermined minimum. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes first and second thermostats which determine feed and return medium temperatures and a control device responsive to the determined temperatures for adjusting feed medium temperature in accordance with the temperature difference. A further thermostat arrangement, in cooperation with a further control device, is provided for maintaining a minimum feed medium temperature, an auxiliary energy source being controlled by the further control device.
