description Methods and apparatus for furcating fiber optic cables are provided. In some embodiments, a molded array of furcation tubes is generated by compressing rearward portions of a plurality of furcation tubes together and heating at least a portion of the rearward portions to form a molded portion of the molded array. Reinforcing filaments can be bonded into and/or throughout the molded portion. The molded portion can have a plurality of internal chambers, each in communication with a separate furcation tube of the molded array, in which optic fibers can be slidably retained. The molded portion can be fixedly coupled to a housing, which in turn, can be coupled to a cable trunkline. Optic fibers can slide longitudinally within the trunkline, housing, and molded portion.
