Abstract:
1. A fiber optic cable strain relief device, comprising: a base; a length of strap positioned in the base and forming a loop, wherein the loop is adapted to at least partially encircle a cable positioned at the base; and a ratchet assembly comprising, an actuator, a ratchet cap, a pin, a ratchet lock, a torsion spring and a release wherein the ratchet assembly operates to tighten the length of strap encircling the cable to provide strain relief by rotating the actuator and to allow the strap to be loosened around the fiber optic cable, and wherein the length of strap inserts into a slot in the pin, and wherein the release operates to allow the strap to be loosened around the fiber optic cable, and wherein the ratchet assembly prevents over-tightening of the strap around the cable.
