A linear sliding locking mechanism includes: a base having a passageway; a plurality of fingers having a first end and a second end, the plurality of fingers surrounding the passageway and extending from the base at the second end; a sliding activation piece surrounding the plurality of fingers; and wherein as the sliding activation piece is moved from the second end towards the first end, the plurality of fingers are biased together. In another exemplary embodiment, a mechanical splice connector for a fiber optical cable includes: a linear sliding locking mechanism; an inner housing having a first end and a second end, the first end adapted to receive the linear sliding locking mechanism; a capillary supported by the inner housing; and a ferrule having a first side and a second side, the first side of the ferrule mounted to the second end of the inner housing, the ferrule including a fiber stub extending from the second side, the fiber stub extends within the capillary.

A bend radius guide provides effective cable management and bend radius control to prevent microbending of fiber optic cables entering and exiting cable distribution enclosures. Using arcuate surfaces, the guide provides bend radius control to prevent against microbending at distribution enclosure openings in directions horizontal or vertical to the enclosure depending upon the placement of the guide. When used in conjunction, bend radius guides prevent microbending in both horizontal and vertical directions concurrently. Bend radius guides used in conjunction can manage a number of fiber cables while still allowing access to individual cables through an angled slot formed by the joining of two guides.
