Abstract
A strain relief apparatus, particularly useful for separating individual optical fibers in a multi-fiber optical cable. Optical fibers from the fiber optic cable are fed through the center of a wedging device and into separate tubes. A coupler wedges first and second members against the wedging device, securing strength members, such as aramid fibers from the fiber optic cable and tubes, between the first and second members and the wedging member.
