PCT No. PCT/GB89/01175 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 2, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 2, 1991 PCT Filed Oct. 4, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO90/04800 PCT Pub. Date May 3, 1990.A bend restrictor for an optical fibre cable comprises an elongate sleeve-like member (5) having an axial through bore for accommodating the cable (1a, 1b), and a coupling ring (6) for fixing the sleeve-like member to a rigid housing (4) from which the cable extends. The sleeve-like member (5) is provided with a plurality of longitudinal bores (7), into some or all of which can be fitted stiffening rods (8). By varying the number and lengths of the stiffening rods (8), the rigidity of the sleeve-like member (5) can be varied to suit the particular structure of the cable (1a, 1b). |
