<p>A housing for one or more splices (21) of optical fibre (22) including at least portions of the or each fibre in the region of said splice(s), said housing comprising: a tray portion (10) having a fibre receiving surface (15) and peripheral wall means (11, 12, 13, 14) extending from said surface (15), said tray portion (10) having means (24, 25) for providing anchor means at ports of entry/exit of the or each optical fibre (22) into/out of said housing; retaining means (17, 18) associated with said tray portion (10), said retaining means (17, 18) being movable between a first position in which at least said portions of the or each optical fibre (22) are retained adjacent said tray portion (10) and a second position in which said splice(s) (21) and said portions of the or each optical fibre (22) are placed in said housing; wherein when said splice(s) (22) and said portions of the or each optical fibre (22) are placed in said housing and said portions are anchored at said anchor providing means (24, 25), said tray portion (10) and said retaining means (17, 18) in said first position cooperate with said anchor means (24, 25) to substantially isolate the or each splice (21) from mechanical disturbances along the or each optical fibre (22) upstream and downstream of said entry and exit ports respectively.</p> |
