DEVICE FOR CONNECTING OPTICAL FIBERS IN GROUP

摘要

A connection device allowing optical fibres manufactures in a factory to be connected together in the field by end pieces. Each end piece comprises a fibre clamped between three cylindrical rods which lie tangential to each other in pairs and encompass a fibre in their central clamed. The end pieces are disposed on either side of a mounting assembly comprising alignment structures constituted by V-shaped grooves in which the fibre and the rods are inserted. Means are provided to press on the rods transversally. According to one variant, this function is fulfilled by elastomer cylinders compressed by clamping the plates of the mounting assembly. Application : Optical fibres for telecommunications.
