A strain relief for distributing strain along an outer surface of an optical fiber cable is disclosed. The strain relief is shaped to surround and tangentially grip the cable via friction between the outer surface of the cable and an inner surface of the strain relief. The strain relief also includes a pulling eye to protect the cable (and a connector) from pulling force (i.e. strain), water and dust. The strain relief is relatively small, low cost and easy to use.

Spiral or S-curve strain relief for pulling a fiber optic cable

Embodiments of the invention include a connector system. The connector system includes a connector cover. The connector-cover has a cap to protect a connector from dust and water and an adapter attached to an optical fiber cable, which is configured to connect to the cap. The dimensions and configuration of the connector-cover allow it to be pulled through conventional conduit (i.e. a 90&#xb0;-bent, 0.75 inch Schedule 40 conduit).

Connector cover for pulling and water resistance

Foldable boat covers provide various features including a cover portion which is foldable. Other features include hinges allowing the base structure to be folded. By folding the cover portion, the base structure, or both the cover portion and base structure, the boat may be placed in a garage or on a covered boat lift with a lesser likelihood of the boat cover interfering.
