An optical device includes at least one optical fiber cable receiving area for receiving at least one optical fiber cable, the receiving area being sized to receive a covering for covering at least a portion of the transition area, and at least one optical fiber cable transition portion disposed at the receiving area, the optical fiber cable transition portion being responsive to and supporting the covering when pressure from the covering is applied to the transition area and the covering and said transition area together form a buffer zone associated with at least a portion of the cable receiving area. Methods include providing a multi-port optical connection terminal having a stub cable port; connecting a stub cable assembly including a stub cable to the stub cable port; and forming a sloped buffer zone between the stub cable port and the stub cable to relieve stress in the stub cable.

That which is claimed is: 1. A multi-port optical connection terminal, comprising: at least one optical fiber cable receiving area for receiving at least one optical fiber cable, the receiving area being sized to receive a covering made of a heatshrink material for covering and defining a transition area; and at least one optical fiber cable transition portion disposed at the receiving area, the optical fiber cable transition portion including plurality of fingers depending therefrom, each of the plurality of fingers having a first proximal end and a second distal end, the optical fiber cable transition portion being responsive to and supporting the covering such that as the covering shrinks, the distal ends of the fingers are forced toward the optical fiber cable by bending the fingers at their respective proximal ends to form a strain-relief buffer zone associated with at least a portion of the transition area. 2. The optical device as in claim 1, wherein the fiber cable transition portion includes a compressible area, the compressible area being configured for compression about a portion of the optical fiber cable in the transition area to form the strain-relief buffer zone. 3. The optical device as in claim 1, wherein the covering is a material selected from the group consisting of a halogen-free material, a chemical resistant material, a UV-resistant material, a cross-linked polyolefin, a lead-free material, a cadmium-free material, a material having an operating temperature range of between about −40° C. to about +120° C., a material having a high tensile strength of at least about 13 MPa, a material having a flexibility to about −40° C., a fungus-resistant material, a decay resistant material and combinations thereof. 4. The optical device as in claim 1, wherein the buffer zone is cone-shaped in cross-section. 5. A multi-port optical connection terminal for interconnecting one or more fiber optic drop cables with a fiber optic distribution cable, the multi-port terminal comprising: a base and a cover attached to the base, the base and cover each having opposed first and second end walls, the base further comprising a base panel opposite the cover and the cover further comprising a cover panel opposite the base to define an interior cavity; a first stub cable port provided in one of the base and the cover through one of the first and second end walls; at least one optical fiber cable transition portion including a plurality of fingers depending therefrom, each of the plurality of fingers having a first proximal end and a second distal end, the optical fiber cable transition portion disposed proximate the first stub cable port; a covering made of a heatshrink material, the optical fiber cable transition portion being configured to receive the covering for covering and defining a transition area proximate the first stub cable port; and a first stub cable comprising a first end received in the cable port through the optical fiber cable transition portion and a second end configured for attachment to the distribution cable, the optical fiber cable transition portion being responsive to and supporting the covering such that as the covering shrinks, the distal ends of the fingers are forced toward the optical fiber cable by bending the fingers at their respective proximal ends to form a buffer zone associated with at least a portion of the transition area. 6.

The method as in claim 8, wherein the stub cable assembly includes a compressible area and further including compressing the compressible area about a portion of the stub cable to form the buffer zone. 10. The method as in claim 8, further including heat shrinking a material about a portion of the stub cable to form the buffer zone. 11. The method as in claim 10, wherein the material is a covering selected from the group consisting of a halogen-free material, a chemical resistant material, a UV-resistant material, a cross-linked polyolefin, a lead-free material, a cadmium-free material, a material having an operating temperature range of between about −40° C. to about +120° C., a material having a high tensile strength of at least about 13 MPa, a material having a flexibility to about −40° C., a fungus-resistant material, a decay resistant material and combinations thereof. 12. The method as in claim 8, wherein the buffer zone is cone-shaped in cross-section, the buffer zone angling away from about the portion of the stub cable in a direction of the stub cable port.
