Receptacle holding light conductor supply lengths in recess in base plate - has annular narrow opening in which optical fibres are laid and wider annular holding region

摘要

Splice plates (1), including a base plate (1a) and a cover plate (1b), are arranged in a holding unit (3) divided into side parts (32,33) and a middle part (34). The splice plates (1) are arranged in the middle part (34) of the sleeve holder (35) of the unit (30). The light conductor lengths (2m,2') are arranged in the base plate (1a) in an annular T-groove (4). ADVANTAGE - Simple device holding fibres in torsion-free and compact manner. Provides easy access to individual conductors. Can be mass produced inexpensively and simply.
