A cable holder, in particular for fiber optics cables, includes a base piece that contains a cable receiving duct that is open on top and axially, into which a cable can be loaded, and a cover piece that provides a retaining structure and that is hinged on the base piece to swivel from an open position into a closed position around a swivel axis. In the open position of the cover piece, the cover piece sticks out from the base piece and the cable is loadable into the cable receiving duct. In the closed position of the cover piece, the cover piece extends along the base piece and the retaining structure localizes the loaded cable on the cable receiving duct. The swivel axis extends in the area of one axial end of the cable receiving duct perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable receiving duct and/or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable.

Cable holder

An apparatus and a method of determination of at least one optical parameter of an optical signal includes providing a beam of the optical signal having a diameter, manipulating the beam, the manipulation having polarization properties, the properties being dependent of the position in the beam laterally with respect to a direction of propagation of the beam during manipulation, detecting in intensities at least three parts of the beam in their dependence of the position in the beam laterally with respect to a direction of propagation of the beam during detection.

Determination of an optical parameter of an optical signal

An apparatus for processing an insulated fiber includes an optical fiber provided with insulation a retention device, which clamps the insulated fiber placed inside it, and a holder-bracket assembly comprising two holder brackets, between which a projecting section of the insulated fiber is located in a starting position beyond the retention device and is clamped in the retention device, which can be adjusted in relation to each other and perpendicular to fiber and which hold a section of the fiber insulation to be removed in a holding position. A cutting device is provided that cuts into the insulation to be removed perpendicular to the fiber. The retention device and the holder-bracket assembly can be adjusted in relation to each other, parallel to the fiber, during which the fiber is fixed in relation to the retention device, while the cut-off insulation is fixed in relation to the holder-bracket assembly.
