Abstract

A strain relief device (24) for anchoring a fiber optic cable (22) to telecommunications equipment (10) includes a base (34) defining a top side (52) and a bottom side (54), the base (34) defining a base channel (60) having an open top and a closed bottom and that receives the fiber optic cable (22) from the open top, the base channel (60) defining a longitudinal axis (62) generally parallel to a longitudinal axis (82) of the fiber optic cable (22) when the fiber optic cable (22) is placed within the base channel (60), the base (34) further defining a first sliding coupling structure (66) extending at a generally acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis (62) of the base channel (60) along a top to bottom direction. The strain relief device (24) further including a cover (44) defining a top side and a bottom side, the cover (44) defining a cover channel (80) having an open bottom and a closed top and that receives the fiber optic cable (22) from the open bottom, the cover channel (80) defining a longitudinal axis (78) generally parallel to the longitudinal axis (82) of the fiber optic cable (22) when the fiber optic cable (22) is placed within the cover channel (80), the cover (44) further defining a second sliding coupling structure (68) extending at a generally acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis (78) of the cover channel (80) along a top to bottom direction, the second sliding coupling structure (68) slidably mating with the first sliding coupling structure (66) for clamping the fiber optic cable (22) in between the base (34) and the cover (44).
