<p>This invention relates to the routing of optical fibres (5) in a multiple occupancy building with individual optical fibres (55, 55') extracted from an optical fibre cable for routing into units at different locations within the building. The surface-mountable junction box (10) comprises a housing (12) with optical fibre mounts (18,18') and ports (9, 9') for routing into and out of the housing the optical fibre cable (4). A surface-mountable face of the housing has a pair of optical fibre routing apertures (31, 31'). The arrangement of the mounts (18, 18') and apertures (31, 31') is symmetric with respect to each other about a plane (32) that extends at right angles to a routing line (33) of the optical fibre cable (4) between the ports (9, 9') such that a length of optical fibre (55, 55') extracted from the optical fibre cable and/or protective tubing (37) for the extracted optical fibre can be routed through the mounts in one of two directions between the optical fibre cable (4) and out of one or the other of the optical fibre routing apertures (31, 31').</p> |
