OPTICAL CABLE TERMINATION DEVICE

摘要

An optical cable termination device for fixing in position or pulling an optical cable to which the device is fitted in use, comprising first and second elongate compression members (125, 160) adapted for fitting together around the optical cable to extend lengthwise along the cable and to apply non-penetrative lateral gripping pressure to the optical cable and/or to an optical connector or other fitting attached to the cable, wherein the compression members incorporate hinge formations (170) adapted to hinge the compression members together at or near one end of the termination device and securing means (165) adapted to secure the compression members together, arranged so that the compression members can be hingedly assembled around the cable in an open-jaw position and can then be angularly closed to engage the securing means and apply the gripping pressure, substantially without penetrating or bending the optical cable. The device may be adapted to provide a cable pulling attachment eye (150), preferably near the end of the device remote from the hinge (170).
