Abstract
An integrated fiber cable management system comprises a fitting having a body with a collet through which a cable passes. A lock nut is threaded on a first end of the body to hold the body in relation to a chassis. A sealing nut is threaded on a second end of the body to tighten the collet on the cable to hold the cable in place in relation to the chassis. A flexible protector extends from the sealing nut to control the bend of the cable between the chassis and a fiber cable cassette. The flexible protector restricts the bend of the cable and thus extends the life of the cable.
