Abstract:
An assembly comprises an optic cable comprising a plurality of optic fiber subunits each comprising at least one optic fiber encased in a fiber jacket and a plurality of aramid strands is disclosed. The assembly further comprises one or more blocks comprising a passage ways for receiving the optic fiber subunits and maintaining adjacent ones of the optic fiber subunits at a predetermined spacing. A housing is molded over the open end of the cable jacket, the aramid strands and the first end of the at least one block. A method of overmolding a transition between an optic fiber cable and a furcation jacketing is also disclosed wherein a mold comprises ribs arranged at right angles to an axis of the mold and such that aramid strands are prevented during injecting from reaching a surface of the mold.
