Abstract
Optical-fiber trunks to be spliced are inserted into opposite ends of a downwardly converging longitudinal groove formed at the bottom of a channel member and are held in position by resilient tongues extending into that groove from an overlying retaining member. The latter, made of sheet metal, may be integral with the channel member but could also be a polygonal jacket enveloping an array of channel members accommodating individual fibers of an optical cable to be spliced. Instead of individual channel members so arrayed, an elongate body with several throughgoing channels and associated retaining elements may be used for cable splicing.
