Problems solved by technology

While it is conventionally believed that heat shrink sleeves provide stress relief, applicants believe that such an assembly is not structurally sound and does not prevent damage to the catheter
In addition, the installation of a heat shrinkable sleeve requires heating of the sleeve, which is also contradictory
For example, vibrations during heating of the sleeve can cause pinch points at the breakout point
Additionally, in many cases, the heat shrink material includes adhesive that flows into the component or device, which leads to some undesired results, such as securing the catheter to the heat shrink material, protective tubing, or other parts of the component

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly, to the Figure 1(A) and 1(B) , shows one embodiment of a conduit distribution component 100 . It should be understood that conduit refers to any known medium for conducting signals and includes, for example, electrical conduits such as copper or aluminum, and optical conduits such as glass, plastic fibers, and waveguides.

[0015] Optical conduit distribution component 100 includes a Y-shaped body 102 having a first side 104 , a second side 106 , a first end 108 , a second end 110 , and walls 112 and 114 . The edges formed by the merging of the first side 104 and the second side 106 with the walls 112, 114 are smooth or curved such that the walls 112 and 114 form curved surfaces. The ends, sides, and walls 104-114 together form the component body 102, which in one embodiment has a rectangular cross-section with semicircular sides.

[0016] The component body 102 includes a first conduit opening 108 at a first end ...

Abstract

A conduit distribution component comprising: (a) a body having at least a first and second end and a first and second side; (b) a first conduit opening at the first end; (c) a plurality of second conduit openings at the second end; and (d) at least one connector on at least the first side or the second side of the body for connecting the conduit distribution component to a second body of a second conduit distribution component in a side-by-side arrangement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular, to a prefabricated optical conduit cable distribution assembly for separating and delivering individual conduits from a plurality of optical conduit cables in a protected manner. Background technique [0002] Optical conduits are increasingly used in several communication applications, such as voice, video and data transmission. In order to effectively use optical conduits in a transmission system, it is often desirable to access and terminate preselected optical conduits at predetermined locations along the length of the conduit cable, thereby providing one or more interface locations for distributing the optical conduits. [0003] Using multi-conduit distribution cables in conduit optical communication networks can present certain challenges. For example, the optical conduits in a multi-conduit distribution cable may be damaged if the cable is subjected to exc...
