Abstract
A flexible, multiple passage conduit assembly for use in fiber optic systems comprises an outer elongated housing formed from circumferentially corrugated flexible plastic conduit of cylindrical configuration. A separate rigid end fitting member of generally cylindrical configuration is joined to each end of the conduit to close the ends and allow for joining the assembly to associated multiple passage conduits. A plurality of lengths of hollow flexible plastic tubing are located within the conduit housing to extend the length thereof. The lengths of tubing terminate in open ends adjacent the end fittings. The open ends of the tubing are connected to the end fitting members by connections which permit relative axial movement between the lengths of tubing and at least one of the end fitting members.
