<p>A method for accessing one or more optical fibers 15 of a telecommunication cable 1, the cable 1 comprising a plurality of optical fibers 16 - optionally grouped together in at least one micromodule 10 - freely positioned in a central core 20 of the cable 1, which central core 20 is surrounded by a jacket 30, the method comprising the steps of:
- defining at least one cut-out area 200 on the outer periphery of the Jacket 30 of the cable 1 in which at least one cut-out area 200 an access window is to be cut out;
- pushing away at least some of the optical fibers 15 to a section of the central core 20 opposite to the at least one cut-out area 200 by exerting a force F on said at least some of the optical fibers 15 said force F having at least one radial component with respect to the cable 1;
- performing a cut-out in the jacket 30 of the cable 1 in said at least one cut-out area 200 while maintaining said force F on the optical fibers 15 in order to form said access window. With the method of the invention, the optical fibers or micromodules may be moved away from the cut-out area in order to avoid any damage by a cutting tool.</p> |
