  • Patent number: 6571048
    Abstract: A device that houses a split of either a ribbon fiber, or alternatively a buffer tube, into individual fibers. The device includes a base that has a split area and a strain relief area, which includes a cavity. For strain relief of a ribbon fiber, two bumpers are placed on opposite sides of the ribbon fiber in the cavity, with the surfaces of the bumpers coated with an adhesive. The walls of the cavity prevent movement of the bumpers and ribbon fiber in two directions. A cavity cover that is removably connected to the base prevents movement in a third direction. A split area cover covers the remainder of the base. The cavity cover and the split area cover can be independently attached and removed from the base as necessary. In this manner, the split area cover can be removed to provide access to the split fibers without removing the cavity cover.
