The device for protecting optical fibers freed at the end of a cable element comprises a sleeve in which the end of the cable element is forcibly fitted, and a plurality of flexible sheaths mounted in securely fixed relation in the line of extension of the sleeve. Each optical fiber which has been freed from the cable element is positioned within and protected by a corresponding sheath.

Device for protecting optical fibers freed at the end of a cable element

A device is provided for positioning optical fibers in a terminal connector for splicing two optical-fiber transmission cables, said device comprising an optical-fiber insertion piece having a central recess in which is fitted a terminal connector provided with grooves, and radial slits provided on the periphery of said insertion piece, and optical-fiber distribution means mounted freely rotatable on said insertion piece and having a longitudinal slit intended to come successively opposite each slit of said insertion piece, so that, by rotation of said distribution means, each optical fiber penetrates into a groove of said terminal connector through the slit of said distribution means positioned opposite a slit of said insertion piece.
