CASE FOR PASSIVE OPTICAL COMPONENTS

摘要

A case for passive optical components, such as glass fibres, couplers and splices, permits reception of couplers and splices while maintaining common mounting dimensions, and guarantees a clear, service-friendly and safe guiding of glass fibres while maintaining minimum bending radii. One front side of a lower case portion is provided with strain-relieved individual guide portions for the glass fibres and an S-shaped groove is integrated in the case bottom. Receiving portions for couplers and for splices are formed by guide portions connected with the bottom. Between the side walls and the receiving portions are provided fibre guide channels for achieving the required reserve lengths. In the area of the receiving portions, transversely to the parallel guiding portion of the couplers and of the splices, are included throughpassing lift-off openings in the case bottom.
