FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: optical fibres in a splice are arranged concentrically around an inner load-bearing element and protective sleeves are worn at optical fibre welding points. The ends of the inner load-bearing element of spliced cables are connected by a metallic clamping sleeve. The splice housing consists of two casings, the outer casing being made of a heat-shrinkable tube and the inner casing also being made of a heat-shrinkable or metal tube. Kevlar strands (outer load-bearing element) of each of the spliced cables extend opposite to one another under the inner casing of the splice and are wound on top of said casing on the other side.
EFFECT: smaller size of the fibre-optic cable splice, low weight, higher strength and easier handling of the splice during installation.
