1. A cable mount configured for fixing a strength member of a fiber optic cable to a fixture, the cable mount comprising:
a cable channel for receiving a portion of the fiber optic cable, the cable mount further comprising a divider wall and an opening provided on the divider wall for receiving a portion of the strength member of the fiber optic cable and directing the portion of the strength member to an opposite side of the divider wall from the cable channel, the opening provided on the divider wall being fully enclosed on all sides around its perimeter, wherein the divider wall is configured to keep the strength member of the fiber optic cable separate from an optical fiber of the fiber optic cable, wherein the cable mount further includes at least one cable management structure defining a curved surface for managing and guiding the optical fiber of the fiber optic cable without violating minimum bend requirements for the optical fiber.
