The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications cable including a
distribution cable and a tether that branches from the distribution cable
at a mid-span breakout location. A flexible closure covers the mid-span
breakout location. Within the closure, fibers are broken out from the
distribution cable and spliced to fibers of the tether. The lengths of
broken out fibers within the flexible closure are provided with
sufficient excess fiber length to allow the closure to be readily
bent/flexed in any direction without damaging the fibers.
