CONNECTING DEVICE FOR OPTICAL FIBER CABLES

摘要

The invention concerns a connecting device for optical fiber cable comprising: a longitudinal support (8) comprising a substantially plane upper face (8a) extending lengthwise and two convex lateral flanks extending lengthwise on either side of this upper face towards the underside of said upper face, the bending radius of the transverse section of each being at least equal to the minimal bending radius of the optical fibers of the cables to be connected; a plurality of individual elements for connecting (11) the optical fibers two by two, each connecting element (11) being transversely arranged on the upper face (8a) of the longitudinal support; a free space (9) provided under the longitudinal support and partly delimited by it, free space through which the optical fibers (15) penetrate into the connecting device and in which they coil freely and before being directly joined to an individual connecting element (11) fixed on the upper face (8a) of the longitudinal support (8) by being maintained against one of the flanks of said longitudinal support.
