<p>A distribution arrangement for optical fibre comprising a branched coupling array (1) and a plurality of splice organisers (2) for storing splices associated with connections to the coupling array. Each fibre connected to the array passes through a manifold block (8) that is provided with a plurality of capillaries extending to the splice organisers. Fibres from other parts of the network also pass through the manifold and into capillaries for conduction to the splice organisers where they are connected to a respective fibre from the coupling array. Preferably the array (1) has alternative winding routes for fibre tails extending from individual couplers within the array to facilitate multiple splice attempts. A preferred splice organiser comprises an enclosure into which coiled fibre loops are introduced and permitted to expand so that they are retained by the resilience of the fibre itself.</p> |
