1. A tensile strength limiting system configured to cause breakage of an optical fiber cable at a predetermined tensile loading below a tensile strength of the optical fiber cable, the tensile strength limiting system comprising:
a force limiter configured for attachment to the optical fiber cable;
a restriction clip through which the optical fiber cable is configured to be looped;
wherein, at the predetermined tensile loading, the force limiter is configured to allow the optical fiber cable to pull through the restriction clip; and
wherein the restriction clip is configured to force the optical fiber cable to break when bent below a minimum bend radius of a strength member within the optical fiber cable.
