IMPROVEMENTS IN BLOWN OPTICAL FIBRE MULTI-TUBE TERMINAL CONNECTORS

摘要

A multi-tube terminal connector for connecting tubes into which optical fibres are to be installed by the blown fibre technique, comprising a first part (4a) arranged to receive and fit onto a cable (1) of closely packed tubes, and a spreader (5) provided with guideways to splay the tubes received by the first part from their initially closely packed state to a spaced relationship where the 10 spacing is greater than the spacing at the initially closely packed state, the arrangement being such that provision (22) is made so as to connect the connector to at least one further element.
