Patent ID: 10782500

Abstract:
Fiber optic furcation units, methods for assembling fiber optic furcation units, and fiber optic furcation kits for assembling fiber optic furcation units are provided. A method for assembling a fiber optic furcation unit includes inserting a furcation tube into a passage defined in a furcation block such that a first end portion of the furcation tube is disposed within a first end portion of the passage and the furcation tube extends from a second end of the passage. A first end of the passage has a diameter greater than a diameter of the second end of the passage. The method further includes flaring the first end portion of the furcation tube such that an inner diameter of the first end of the furcation tube increases. The method further includes inserting an optical fiber into the furcation tube through the first end of the furcation tube.
