Abstract
A pulling eye assembly for optical fiber cables is formed of a housing having a gripping device for gripping the multiple strength members. The first embodiment uses longitudinally extending cavities which communicate with radially directed threaded set-screw holes for receiving epoxy and/or set-screws. In the second embodiment, a pair of collets are used to grip the strength members. In both cases, a crimping sleeve is attached to an end of the cylindrical housing and being crimpably engageable with an outer surface of an optical fiber cable.
