Abstract
Optical fiber bend limiter that prevents contaminates from entering an optical fiber closure is described. The optical fiber bend limiter has an arcuate portion having a bend radius for limiting a minimum bend of an optical fiber. The bend limiter has a central recess for inserting a wall of an optical closure therein and limiting the minimum bend radius of an optical fiber. The bend limiter also includes peripheral recesses. When desired, the bend limiter is secured to a wall of the optical fiber closure via the peripheral recesses thereby closing the aperture and protecting the optical fibers from contaminants.
