A magazine (1) for orderly storage of excess lengths of optical fibres (5), in particular adjacent to a connection box (3) or the like. The magazine comprises a plurality of compartments (15, 16) each housing a cassette (6). The cassettes (6) are loosely insertable into the compartments (15, 16) of the magazine and are formed as circular disc units, which are radially open all around a central winding drum. Two deflecting guides in the form of fixed spools (7, 8) are freely accessibly located in an adjacent compartment, so that an end loop (5a) of the excess coil can be manually laid around one spool (7) and the adjoining, combined portions (5b, 5c) can be manually wound onto the cassette while forming a number of excess winding coils. |
