VERBINDUNGS- ODER AUFTEILUNGSMUFFE FUER LICHTLEITFASERN UND -KABEL

摘要

The troughs (6) in the sleeve (1) are used for the insertion of optical fibres and are arranged in one or more turns. The troughs can be circular or oval. One of the troughs has openings or notches (8) distributed over the inner and/or outer periphery. These openings are used to guide the optical fibres from the cables to the splicing or plugging devices. The radius of the trough is greater than the permissible bending radius of the optical fibres. If the bending radii of the optical fibres is too small, there is a risk that light will escape. That means increased damping of the transmitted signal. The permissible radius is dependent on the numerical aperture.
