A telecommunications cable includes a distribution cable, a tether, and a
tube. One end of a length of optical fiber optically couples to the
distribution cable and the opposite end of the length of optical fiber
optically couples to the tether cable. The tube is mounted over the
length of optical fiber. The tube defines an opening adjacent one end of
the tube. The tube includes fingers adjacent the opening having
sufficient flexibility to enable the one end of the tube to wrap around
buffer tubes of the distribution cable.
