Connecting optical fibres

摘要

An assembly for use in connecting optical fibres includes a housing (12) for optical fibre joints and a fibre routing device (70) associated with the housing. The housing has a first inlet (41) for receiving optical fibres from a primary side of an optical fibre network and a second inlet (13) for receiving optical fibres from a customer side of an optical fibre network. The fibre routing device (70) has an outlet (78) for feeding fibres from the customer side of the optical fibre network into the second inlet (13) and two inlets (72, 74) for receiving the customer-side optical fibres for feeding to its outlet. <IMAGE>
