Component for cross-connecting optofibres

摘要

To simplify handling of optofiber ribbons, there is provided a component for cross-connecting optofibers between different fiber ribbons, where the component pre se cross-connects optofibers between different fiber ribbons connected to the component. The component enables a fiber ribbon structure to be retained and undivided, even after cross-connecting or otherwise reorganizing the optofibers in one or more fiber ribbons. The cross-connecting components generally consist of a plastic casing (6,7) which surrounds optofibers (2) cross-connected or reorganized in a mixing zone or weave zone (5) and also the free optofiber-ends connected to the optofibers in the plastic casing on a component input side and a component output side respectively.
