Overlength light wave conductor storage system - has hollow cylinder whose dia. is double min. bending radius of conductor

摘要

The storage system for overlength light-wave conductors operates by looping the conductor wires within cable sleeves whereby the wires have een joined by splicing elements. A carrier plate (1) has cable holding units (6) and operates with a splicing comb (3) and guides (4) for the light-conducting wires. A marking unit (7) in the form of a hollow cylinder provides control over the bending so as to ensure that the permissible bending radius of the wires is not exceeded. The dia. of the cylinder is double the min. permissible beinding radius. Use of the system enables the relatively fragile light conductors to be stored without danger of them fracturing.
