Abstract
For spliced connection of multi-channel optical-fiber cable ends, the invention contemplates provision of a splice case internally adapted for the storage of excess length of cable in an accumulator and near the splice region, there being a splice mount that is removably secured to the accumulator, so that stored excess cable length will permit selective removal of the splice mount and all its fiber splices to a working location remote from the splice case and its accumulator, all without disturbing the continuous communicating connection of splice fibers not requiring service maintenance or repair. When the servicing operation has been completed, the excess cable length is readily re-coiled into the accumulator, the splice mount is returned to its secured position, and the splice case is re-closed.
