A DEVICE FOR CONNECTING ONE OR MORE OPTICAL FIBRES TO AN OPTICAL CONVERTER

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for connecting one or more optical fibres to an optical converter. The device is preferably conceived for use in apartment buildings and office blocks, where connection points in fibre optic networks LAN and other types of fibre optic communications networks are required for connecting optical fibres to electronic equipment. In order to simplify optical fibre installation work, the optical fibre installation is terminated in a junction box, switch box, wall terminal box (1) or some corresponding element in which any optical fibre excess (5) and connectors (6) fitted to said optical fibre can be coiled and stored in the box. When the optical fibre (2) is to be connected to an optical converter (3), the converter is connected directly to the box and the contact devices (6) on the optical fibre are brought into contact with the contact devices of the converter. The box may cover the converter either completely or partially, or the converter may comprises an integral part of the box.
