Cable overblowing connector
A connector assembly comprising: a first end and a second end; a first inlet for receiving a protective duct of an enhanced performance fibre unit; a second inlet for receiving a protective duct of an enhanced performance fibre unit; an outlet for receiving a protective duct of an enhanced performance fibre unit; a first internal channel between the first inlet and the outlet for receiving a length of enhanced performance fibre unit stripped of its protective duct; and a second internal channel for receiving a length of enhanced performance fibre unit stripped of its protective duct between the second inlet and a section of the first internal channel proximate the outlet.
1. A cable overblow connector assembly comprising:
a first end and a second end;
a first inlet for receiving a protective duct of an enhanced performance fibre unit;
a second inlet for receiving a protective duct of an enhanced performance fibre unit;
an outlet for receiving a protective duct of an enhanced performance fibre unit;
a first internal channel between the first inlet and the outlet for receiving a length of enhanced performance fibre unit stripped of its protective duct; and
a second internal channel for receiving a length of enhanced performance fibre unit stripped of its protective duct between the second inlet and a section of the first internal channel proximate the outlet;
the connector assembly further comprising a first half having a first end and a second end and defining:
a first lengthwise half of the first channel;
a first lengthwise half of the second channel;
a first lengthwise half of the first inlet; and
a first lengthwise half of the outlet;
the connector assembly further comprising a second half having a first end and a second end and defining:
a second lengthwise half of the first channel;
a second lengthwise half of the second channel;
a second lengthwise half of the first inlet; and
a second lengthwise half of the outlet;
the first half and the second half being connectable together to form the connector assembly;
wherein
the first half and the second half are fixedly connectable about their respective second ends using a clip,
the clip comprises a base and two pins protruding from the base;
wherein the base is:
shaped to fit around the outlet of the connector assembly; and
configured to abut in use the second ends of the first half and second half of the connector assembly.
2. The cable overblow connector assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first half and the second half are hingedly connectable about their respective first ends using a hook protruding from the first end of the first half and a lateral bar supported by a protrusion from the first end of the second half.
3. The cable overblow connector assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first inlet and the second inlet are disposed at the first end and the outlet is disposed at the second end.
