Abstract
A cable enclosure for use with a cable having a lengthwise cable axis, an outer jacket and a transmission media within the outer jacket, includes a housing assembly and a strain relief structure on the housing assembly. The housing assembly defines a chamber and a cable port. The housing assembly is configured to receive the cable. The strain relief structure includes a pair of opposed engagement structures defining a cable slot therebetween. At least one of the engagement structures includes a blade edge flanking the cable slot. The cable enclosure is configured to receive the cable such that the cable extends through the cable port and into the chamber and a portion of the cable is received in the cable slot such that the at least one blade edge cuts into the outer jacket to resist withdrawal of the cable from the chamber through the cable port.
