Abstract:
1. An optical fiber cable retention structure, comprising a first body comprising a castellated structure for engaging a cable jacket, wherein a sectional profile of the castellated structure comprises alternating valleys and peaks, and wherein the peaks have a substantially flat top surface; and a second body opposing the first body, wherein when the cable jacket is clamped between the castellated structure of the first body and the second body with opposing surfaces of the first body and second body in mating contact, the peaks of the castellated structure of the first body press on the cable jacket and the valleys of the castellated structure of the first body receive excess material of the cable jacket that flows to the valleys under pressure of the peaks, thereby forming a castellated surface profile corresponding to the castellated structure of the first body, and interlocking the castellated surface profile of the cable jacket to the castellated structure of the first body.
