CABLE SLEEVE FOR THE STRUCTURED STORAGE AND HANDLING OF OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES GUIDED IN OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE CABLES

摘要

The invention relates to a cable sleeve for the structured storage and handling of optical waveguides, with a covering body (11) which defines an interior (12), in particular a covering hood, and with a sealing body (14), comprising two dimensionally stable end pieces (16, 17) and a compressible gel element (18) arranged between the end pieces, which can be inserted into an opening (13) of the covering body (11) and is used for guiding optical waveguide cables into the interior (12) and/or for guiding optical waveguide cables out of the interior (12). According to the invention, spring elements (23) are integrated in the interior (12) of the covering body (11) and, if the sealing body (14) is inserted into the opening (13) of the covering body (11) and compressed, bear against one of the dimensionally stable end pieces (17) of the sealing body (14) while permanently exerting a compression pressure onto the gel element (18).
