OPTICAL FIBER SPACER CONTROL Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: refractive-index fiber-optic lines.

SUBSTANCE: housing for receiving and holding spare optical fiber section has two usually flat supporting members provided with respective peripheral rim edges contacting one another over perimeter and holding means for keeping two supporting members together at point distant from their rim edges; at least one of supporting members is flexible enough at least close to or in vicinity of rim edge of this member to bend so as to allow for fiber entrance in or draw-out of housing by passing this fiber through holes formed by slits made in contacting rim edges when two supporting members are applied. Set of optical fiber spacer control parts incorporates post or shelf for disposing optical fiber storage assemblies having mentioned independently held housings for their separate removal to ensure access to separate optical fiber or flexible conductor. Distribution panel controlling optical fiber spacer has one or more posts and shelves provided with independently held housings.

EFFECT: facilitated storage and extraction of spare optical fiber section.
