<p>The invention relates to a fibre optic routing board for routing a plurality of fibre optic cables (12). The fibre optic routing board is provided with one or more optical conductors (10) disposed between a first lower laminate layer (20a) and a first upper laminate layer (20) the one or more optical conductors being connected to at least one of the optical fibres in the plurality of fibre optic cables, wherein at least one of the first lower laminate layer or the first upper laminate layer is so constructed that it attaches at least one of a jacket (40) over a first distance (C,D). Advantageously, the fibre optic routing board additionally comprises a second laminate layer positioned between the first upper or lower laminate layer and the optical conductors. The use of a two layer laminate allows each of the laminate layers to have different properties. Thus one layer might reduce transverse stresses on the connecting element and enclosed optical fibre whilst another layer might reduce longitudinal stresses on the connecting element and enclosed optical fibre. <IMAGE></p> |
