FACILITY TO JOIN OPTICAL FIBERS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: fiber-optical communication lines. SUBSTANCE: facility includes socket with clamping element moving between open and closed positions and two plug units. Each plug unit has rod to anchor bare fiber with chamfered surface. One plug unit carries aid ensuring prestressing of first fiber. Contact surfaces of first and second fibers are held in contact under compression. In compliance with second variant facility incorporates means that actuates clamping element and grips fibers in clamping element when first and second fibers are set in contact in compression. EFFECT: simplified design, diminished cost and raised operational characteristics of facility. 20 cl, 6 dwg
