AN ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN CONNECTING OPTICAL FIBRES INCLUDING AMANIFOLD DEVICE

摘要

An assembly (10) for use in connecting optical fibres to an optical fibre device having input and output tails comprises a plurality of housings (12) for housing optical fibre connections and a housing (18) for housing at least one passive optical device. The tails of the passive optical device are routed through manifold (16) to the housings (12) via respective routing members (14) and the optical fibres to be connected to the tails are routed to the appropriate housings (12) via these routing members (14). The housings (12) are arranged in an aligned bank adjacent the manifold (16) and each housing (12) is moveable out of such alignment for providing access thereto.
