Abstract
The invention relates to a cable closure for optical-fiber cables, preferably optical-fiber minicables or optical-fiber microcables, with cable lead-in units, which are arranged perpendicularly with respect to the axis of the closure body, and it is possible for the closure to be fitted vertically into a core hole made into the earth or into road surfacings. On account of laid-in excess lengths of optical waveguide, splice organizers in the interior of the closure body can be taken out upwards for service work. Preferably, the excess lengths of optical waveguide are carried in a protective tube, which is deposited in a plurality of loops in the interior of the closure.
