A fiber routing system comprising: a mesh sleeve having a sleeve end ; and a sleeve anchor that mounts at the sleeve end , the sleeve anchor including: an insert arrangement including at least an insert portion that fits within the sleeve end of the mesh sleeve , the insert arrangement defining a fiber passage of the sleeve anchor that extends through the insert arrangement that is configured to receive at least one optical fiber routed therethrough; and a fixing arrangement configured to releasably secure to the insert arrangement , the fixing arrangement being disposed about the sleeve end to hold the sleeve to the insert arrangement such that the sleeve end is clamped between the fixing arrangement and the insert portion of the insert arrangement ; characterized in that : the fixing arrangement slides laterally relative to the insert arangement to couple thereto so that the insert arrangement passes laterally through an open side of the fixing arrangement ; and outer projections extend outwardly from the insert arrangement , the outer projections extending through holes in the mesh sleeve to aid in retaining the mesh sleeve . a mesh sleeve having a sleeve end ; and a sleeve anchor that mounts at the sleeve end , the sleeve anchor including: an insert arrangement including at least an insert portion that fits within the sleeve end of the mesh sleeve , the insert arrangement defining a fiber passage of the sleeve anchor that extends through the insert arrangement that is configured to receive at least one optical fiber routed therethrough; and a fixing arrangement configured to releasably secure to the insert arrangement , the fixing arrangement being disposed about the sleeve end to hold the sleeve to the insert arrangement such that the sleeve end is clamped between the fixing arrangement and the insert portion of the insert arrangement ; an insert arrangement including at least an insert portion that fits within the sleeve end of the mesh sleeve , the insert arrangement defining a fiber passage of the sleeve anchor that extends through the insert arrangement that is configured to receive at least one optical fiber routed therethrough; and a fixing arrangement configured to releasably secure to the insert arrangement , the fixing arrangement being disposed about the sleeve end to hold the sleeve to the insert arrangement such that the sleeve end is clamped between the fixing arrangement and the insert portion of the insert arrangement ; characterized in that : the fixing arrangement slides laterally relative to the insert arangement to couple thereto so that the insert arrangement passes laterally through an open side of the fixing arrangement ; and outer projections extend outwardly from the insert arrangement , the outer projections extending through holes in the mesh sleeve to aid in retaining the mesh sleeve . the fixing arrangement slides laterally relative to the insert arangement to couple thereto so that the insert arrangement passes laterally through an open side of the fixing arrangement ; and outer projections extend outwardly from the insert arrangement , the outer projections extending through holes in the mesh sleeve to aid in retaining the mesh sleeve . <EOS>
