摘要

A spreader head for an optical fiber cable, the cable (10) comprising a central grooved core (11) with each groove (12) receiving a bundle (13) of optical fibers, the spreader head being constituted by a support part (20) surrounded by a ring (21) having outwardly open recesses disposed around its periphery and each receiving a cylinder (30), with each cylinder having at least as many axial orifices as there are optical fibers to a single bundle of optical fibers, and with each axial orifice having an optical fiber passing therethrough being extended by a flexible tube (50) for surrounding and protecting the corresponding optical fiber.
