   The self sealing tape strain relief was added when the podium =
connection was pointing downwards and it was realized that there was an =
uncomfortable amount of bending when stowed.  There is much less of a =
bend on the fiber link when stowed now, so it probably isn't needed.  =
However, we will take a closer look next week at the bend when plugged =
into a cartridge to see if the tape might still be useful there.
