Clamp and Bending Strain Relief (BSR) system and method are disclosed. One example of a system can include a clamp coupled to a cable. The clamp is configured to couple an apparatus to the cable while allowing the cable to pass continuously through the clamp. A BSR apparatus is coupled to the clamp and the cable by a housing.

Clamp and bending strain relief apparatus and methods

Vented optical tube. At least some illustrative embodiments are conduits comprising a tube having a wall defining an interior volume of the tube. One or more optical fibers are disposed within the interior volume. The wall includes a plurality of vents passing from an outer surface of the wall to the interior volume, the plurality of vents disposed along a length of the tube, and wherein the vents are configured to convey a fluid in contact with the outer surface into the interior volume of the tube.

Vented optical tube

According to one example, a system includes a flexural beam having a first face and a second face opposite the first face and a first coil of optical fiber coupled to the first face, where the first coil of optical fiber is encapsulated by a cured encapsulation composition, wherein the encapsulation composition has a viscosity from 30 to 300 millipascal-second at 25&#xb0; C.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for accelerometers

Staggered Splices. At least some illustrative embodiments are apparatus including a tube having a wall defining an interior volume, first and second optical fibers disposed within the interior volume and the first and second optical fibers joined at a first splice. Also included are third and fourth optical fibers disposed within the interior volume, the third and fourth optical fibers joined at a second splice. The first splice and the second splice have an axially spaced-apart relationship within the interior volume of the tube.

Staggered optical fiber splices

At least some illustrative embodiments are including a method exposing a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber disposed within an interior volume of a first tube. A splice is formed between the first optical fiber and a third optical fiber, the splice joining an end of the first optical fiber and an end of the third optical fiber. A second tube is disposed the first, second, third optical fibers and the splice between the first and third optical fibers, wherein an end of the second tube adjoins an end of the first tube to form a structure comprising either an overlapping structure; or an abutting structure.
