Abstract

ELEMENTOS PARA HACER EMPALMADORES DE FIBRAS OPTICAS SE SIMPLIFICAN CUANDO UN ESTAMPADO DE UN MATERIAL DEFORMABLE DEFINIENDO TRES SUPERFICIES EN DONDE CONTACTARAN LAS SUPERFICIES QUE VAN A SER EMPALMADAS. LAS SUPERFICIES SE FORMAN ENTRE DOS BRAZOS DE UN ELEMENTO DE TAL MODO QUE CUANDO LOS BRAZOS ESTAN CERRADOS SOBRE LA FIBRA, LAS SUPERFICIES CENTRAN LAS FIBRAS Y COMPRIMEN RESISTENTEMENTE LAS FIBRAS ALINEADAS PARA MANTENERLAS UNIDAS Y LAS FIBRAS SON COMPRIMIDAS CONTRA LAS SUPERFICIES LIGERAMENTE PARA CENTRAR LOS NUCLEOS DE LA FIBRA.
