Abstract:
A feedthrough assembly for passing at least one optical waveguide through a structure, comprising:a housing coupleable to the structure; at least one axial cavity formed in the housing having an axial length, wherein the cavity comprises a surface having a first dimension, and wherein the cavity comprises at least one variation in its surface with a second dimension different from the first dimension; at least one optical waveguide received through the cavity and spaced relative to the surface; and a sealant along substantially the entire length of the cavity and between the at least one optical waveguide and the surface, wherein the sealant is exposeable to a pressure at an end of the cavity, and wherein the sealant cooperates with the at least one variation in the surface to prevent axial movement of the optical waveguide in the cavity when the sealant is exposed to the pressure at an end of the cavity.
