Coupling sleeve for a submarine cable with an optical waveguide has a casing for holding adjacent cable ends and a retaining area in the casing for coupling points for optical waveguide ends

摘要

A number of cartridge-like compartments fit in a casing (21), in which coupling points for every optical waveguide are distributed on several equal compartments used for different purposes. A bundle with an equal number of optical waveguides is inserted in the compartments designed as coupling and distributing (51) cartridges. This number is less than the total number of optical waveguides for a cable.
