Abstract
A method is provided for sealing a container into which optical fibers are fed. A portion of the optical fibers is accommodated between two strips which are sealed together by applying heat and/or pressure. The strips are then placed in an opening of the container and the container is sealed. The strips, which may be made of plastic, support the fibers while providing an excellent seal.
