METHOD OF SELAING PORT OF OPTICAL CABLE' COUPLING TO PROVIDE OUTPUT OF CONDUCTORS FROM ARMOR TO EARTH ELECTRODES Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G02B6/44 

FIELD: fiver-optic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method can be during mounting of building lengths of optical cables in couplings to provided output of conductors from earth electrodes. Washers are moved apart according to template for distance being equal to distance between grooves of coupling's port. Space between washers is filled with sealing compound. Conductor with washers is mounted in port of lower part of coupling's case in such a way that washers come into grooves of coupling's port. Lower and top ports of coupling's case are connected together. Washers with openings, number of which openings equals to number of earth electrodes to be introduced, are put one atop other in such a manner that openings are brought in coincidence. Earth electrode is inserted into any opening in such a way that single earth electrode goes through any opening to pass through both washers. After that washers are moved apart to follow template for distance being equal to distance between grooves of coupling's port. Space between washers is filled with sealing compound. Earth conductor with washers is inserted into port of lower part of coupling's case in such a way that washers enter grooves of coupling's port and top and lower parts of case are connected together to provide sealing of coupling's port of optical cable where earth conductors are outputted from armor to earth conductors.

EFFECT: widened area o application.
