A dual-sided fiber routing tray includes a body, a connector interface, and one or more strain relief assemblies. The body defines a connector side and a slack storage side opposite the connector side. The connector interface is arranged on the connector side of the body between the first end and the second end and is configured to connect one or more fibers. The one or more strain relief assemblies are configured to secure one or more strength members of a fiber optic cable to the body. The one or more strain relief assemblies extend through the body and engage the connector side and the slack storage side of the body. The one or more strain relief assemblies are configured to engage the one or more strength members of the fiber optic cable in the engaged position thereby restricting motion of the one or more strength members relative to the body.

Dual-sided fiber routing trays, assemblies, and methods

A strain relief assembly includes a top plate and a bottom plate. The top plate defines a plurality of top ports configured to receive a plurality of cables at a first point. The bottom plate defines a plurality of bottom ports configured to receive the plurality of cables at a second point. The strain relief assembly is movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the plurality of top ports and the plurality of bottom ports collectively define a first passage area. In the closed position, the plurality of top ports and the plurality of bottom ports collectively define a second passage area smaller than the first passage area.

Telecommunication cable strain relief assemblies

A fiber optic connector comprises a connector body, a ferrule, and a boot. The ferrule has a rear portion supported within the connector body and a front portion extending beyond a front end of the connector body. The boot has a front portion within the connector body and a funnel-shaped portion that extends beyond a back end of the connector body. The funnel-shaped portion defines a boot back end. Additionally, the funnel-shaped portion includes a tapered passage on an interior of the boot and a lip on an exterior of the boot. The tapered passage and the lip are curved toward each other proximate the boot back end so that the funnel-shaped portion terminates with a rounded configuration.
