Abstract
A readily-serviced junction for a fiber optic telemetry system includes at least one box for receiving cables that communicate with downstream optical sensors. The cables comprise commingled input-path and return-path optical fibers. A manifold-type arrangement of metallic enclosure tubes is arranged to direct the optical fibers, once stripped of the outer jackets of the cables, toward the light source and detectors of the telemetry system. A splice protection box houses couplers of the telemetry system. The boxes of the junction are easily assembled and dissembled to facilitate installation and servicing.
