CABLE JOINT FOR OPTICAL FIBRES WITH SPLICING CASSETTES AND OVERLENGTH LOOPS

摘要

The invention concerns a cable joint for optical fibre cables, preferably optical fibre mini-cables or micro-cables, with cable-insertion units which are disposed perpendicular to the axis of the joint body so that the cable joint can be inserted vertically into a core bore in the ground or road surfaces. Splicing cassettes inside the joint body can be taken out upwards for maintenance work owing to inserted optical fibre overlengths. Preferably, the optical fibre overlengths are guided in a protective tube laid in a plurality of loops inside the joint.
