An assembly for connectors of optical fibres

摘要

The present invention provides an assembly (10) for use in connecting optical fibres, the assembly comprising a plurality of housings (12) for housing connections between optical fibres and a guide arrangement for guiding optical fibres into said housings (12). The guide arrangement comprises a plurality of guide devices (14) mounted side-by-side, each guide device (14) having at least one inlet port (22) for the passage of optical fibres into the guide arrangement, at least one outlet port (26) associated with a said housing (12) for guiding optical fibres into the associated housing (12). Each guide device (14) also comprises at least one further inlet port (30) for receiving optical fibres from another one of the guide devices when positioned adjacent the guide device (14) on one side thereof and at least one further outlet port (28) for guiding optical fibres to another one of the guide devices when positioned adjacent the guide device on another side thereof. The guide arrangement comprises at least two guide devices (14). <IMAGE>
