<p>A housing (11) for receiving and retaining a spare length of optical fibre (33) comprises two generally planar support members (12a, 12b) having corresponding peripheral rims (19) which contact one another at the perimeter thereof. Holding means (24, 25, 26, 27) are provided for holding the two support members (12a, 12b) together at a point spaced from the rims thereof. At least one of the support members has sufficient resilience at least at or in the region of the rim (19) thereof to allow it to flex so that an optical fibre (33) can be introduced into or withdrawn from the housing (11) by passing it between contacting rims of the two members.</p> |
