A clamp comprising; two sections 12, 12 hinged together for closure toward each other and onto an exterior of a divisible, multiple fiber cable 2, friction surfaces 24, 24 of the sections 12, 12 are adapted for engaging along an exterior of a first portion 25 of the multiple fiber cable 2, and the exteriors of tubing 27, 27 extending over single optical fibers 3, 3 that project from the multiple fiber cable 2.

Clamp for a transition of a multiple fiber cable

An optical fiber connector (1) comprises, an alignment ferrule (11) for aligning an optical fiber (3) of an optical cable (2) and a molded, flexible, curved rubber boot (9) extending along a line having a radius of curvature to extend the line 90 degrees from the plane of connection between the ferrule (11) and the boot (9).
