If you're getting a zip cord it will slip right through. Gotta pay
attention to the min & max cable diameters for the strain relief.
If you wanted that strain relief, you might have to bump up to a
distribution cable just to get a thicker O.D.

That looks like what we need.

I don't know the proper name of this device, but they make a finger
trap style strain relief with a ring sized to rest on top of the
conduit fitting. So you feed the cable through the finger trap, then
feed it through the conduit, then the weight is carried at the box
connector. Here's an example of one that Google found for me:

I hope the cable you're getting is flexible and bend insensitive.
Thanks,

<https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=993439894141736&set=gm.624613164555926&type=3&theater&ifg=1#>We
are providing a backup internet connection to a local bank and I need
a recommendation for a fiber run. We had conduit installed from our
equipment box on the top floor of a banks parking deck to an
equipment room on the first floor 4 stories down where it will be
coupled with an existing run of single mode fiber. There are 8 - 90
degree bends and at least 4 of those won't be sweeping 90's since
they had to make some of the transitions from one direction to
another with junction boxes.
Also, at the top of the deck there is a 60 foot vertical section of
conduit that leads to the bottom of the deck and transitions 90
degrees along the ceiling of the first floor. I need to find a way of
securing the cable (strain relief) to the junction box that is in the
picture I am including. Alternatively, I could use a recommendation
for securing it to our equipment box. Either way, I don't need the
weight of the cable damaging itself or tugging on our equipment in
the box.
We know how long the cable will be so we will be buying it
pre-terminated.
