Abstract

The excess length of optical fiber (31) in an optical fiber harness assembly (10) is accommodated by a doughnut-shaped accumulation chamber (17) in which the fiber (31) is coiled with one or more turns, the chamber being proportioned so that all of the excess length of fiber (31) may be accommodated when there is no tension on the conduit (13) of the harness (10), and when the conduit (13) is stretched under tension the fiber (31) will be bent to a radius no less than that at which the fiber will be damaged or the signal transmitted attenuated unduly.
