A telecommunications cable includes a distribution cable, a tether
branching from the distribution cable at a breakout location, and an
enclosure that surrounds the breakout location. The enclosure is secured
to the distribution cable at first and second adhesion regions. The
enclosure can also secure to the tether at a third adhesion region. The
adhesion regions are treated by sanding the regions, cleaning the
regions, and then plasma-etching the regions immediately before
welding/injection molding the enclosure around the breakout location.
