<p>A method of splicing optical fibres comprises the steps of affixing a first fibre (20) to a first keying element (4) having a particular radial orientation, inserting the keying element (4) in a support (29) which receives the keying element only in a specific radial orientation, cleaving the fibre (20) affixed to the inserted keying element (4) at a predetermined angle ( alpha ) relative to the support (19) to form an angled fibre end face (24), removing the keying element from the support, inserting the keying element into a splicing body (3) which receives the keying element only in a specific radial orientation such that the angled fibre end face (24) has a predictable radial orientation with respect to the splice body, and repeating the above steps for a second fibre (21) and a second keying element (5), whereby the first angled fibre end face (24) and the second angled fibre end face (25) abut in a substantially parallel orientation.</p> |
