DEVICE FOR KEEPING OPTICAL FIBERS Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: fiber- optical communication lines. SUBSTANCE: device has units for keeping optical fibers. Each such unit has first front surface and opposite front surface, and input and output optical fiber passes which are located on first front surface, and are designed for passing fibers in plane of first front surface. Fiber storage unit is located between first and second passes and provides optical fiber, which is passed between input and output passes, with minimal bend which is at least one at least equal to critical bend radius of optical fiber. Through hole passes from first front surface to opposite surface of unit for keeping optical fibers. EFFECT: facilitated access to connection points between fibers, facilitated storage of spare pieces of fibers. 12 cl, 20 dwg
