An optical fiber bend limiting device may be used in a movable optical connection system to transition optical fibers between at least first and second optical fiber connecting structures that move relative to each other. The optical fiber bend limiting device may be coupled between the optical fiber connecting structures such that the bend limiting device moves with the connecting structures. The optical fiber bend limiting device allows movement of the optical fibers within the movable optical fiber connection system while preventing the optical fibers from bending beyond a bend radius limit.

Movable optical fiber connection system and optical fiber bend limiting device for use therein

An optical fiber connector mounting assembly mounts an optical fiber connector such that the connector is located outside of a faceplate to facilitate access to an end face of the connector. The mounting assembly secures and protects the optical fiber connector. In one embodiment, the optical fiber connector includes a strain relief boot that allows the connector to be moved within a limited bend radius.
