A DEVICE FOR ENCLOSING AN ELECTROOPTIC CONVERTER AND AT LEAST ONE OPTICAL FIBRE CONNECTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for connecting one or more optical fibres to one or more computer connections through the medium of an optical converter. The device is preferably conceived for use in multi-apartment buildings and office premises, where connections point to a fibre optical network LAN and other types of fibre-optic communications networks are required for connecting optical fibres to electronic equipment. With the intention of simplifying an optical fibre installation, the installation of the optical fibre is terminated in a junction box or terminal box, in which an unused optical fibre can be stored together with a connector fitted to the optical fibre with said fibre coiled-up in the box. When an optical fibre (15) shall be connected to the electrooptic converter (14) fastened to the intermediate part (2) of said box, the optical fibres are connected directly to the converter in the opened box, by connecting the connectors (16) of respective optical fibres to the converter connector. When the upper part of the box has been placed in position, the electrical connection and computer connection can be made directly to the electrooptic converter housed in the box. The box fully covers the converter and the optical fibres connected thereto.
