Abstract
In order to allow an optical cable to be accessed by spur cables at various points along its length after it has been laid, connection housings are provided at intervals along its length. A loop of the main cable is passed into each housing so that at a later date there is an excess of cable to enable connections to be made to it. Each housing contains fittings such as manifolds and organizer trays where the optical fibers are spliced and includes several access ports which are covered over until it is required to connect a spur cable to the main cable.
