Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a splice plate for optical fibers.
  • a splice plate for optical fibers.
  • single optical fibers from a first optical fiber system may spliced/jointed to single optical fibers from a second optical fiber system with the shortest possible optical fiber length in the jointing area and with access to a space for storing associated optical fibers.
  • optical fibers/optical fiber ribbons may be handled for splicing or jointing, without any need for the individual optical fibers/optical fiber ribbons to cross each other.
  • optical fibers/optical fiber ribbons may be inserted onto the splice plate without being looped or roughly cut to the correct length.
  • Optical fiber ends may then be fused together without removing the optical fibers/optical fiber ribbons from the splice plate. This is made possible by the excess length that is already provided and that enables extension of the optical fiber ends directly out to a fusion machine to be fused together and jointed.
  • protective sleeves for the optical fiber ends may be secured to the splice plate, on its sleeve holders.
  • optical multiple fiber ribbons may be handled rationally by the fusion splicing and termination thereof.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view illustrating a splice plate in accordance with the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a top view of the splice plate in accordance with the invention.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 are side and top views, respectively, of a splice plate arranged in accordance with the invention.
  • the splice plate consists of a lower rectangular bottom plate 1 and an upper tray 2 that is pivotally connected to the bottom plate.
  • the bottom plate has fixed inner radius limiters 3 and outer holders 4 for optical fibers/optical fiber ribbons.
  • a pivot mechanism 5 for the tray is provided at one end of the bottom plate and a support 6 for the tray is provided at the other end.
  • the tray may be angled out from the bottom plate by means of the pivot mechanism, so that in the angled-out position it permits access to existing optical fibers/optical fiber ribbons that have been placed there.
  • the tray may be fixed at the correct distance from the bottom plate by means of the support on the bottom plate.
  • the tray In order to provide access to the lower bottom plate the tray is provided with several inspection openings 11. At the end thereof that is opposite to that of the pivot the tray is provided with a lock 12 for connecting the tray to the support 6 of the bottom plate.
  • single optical fibers/optical fiber ribbons from a first optical fiber cable connected to the splice plate may be placed on the bottom plate 1 between the outer brackets 4 and the radius limiters 3. Then, the respective optical fiber ends and/or optical fiber ribbon ends may be brought up on the tray.
  • single optical fibers/optical fiber ribbons from another optical fiber cable that is connected to splice plate may be placed on the bottom plate and the respective optical fiber ends and/or optical fiber ribbon ends may be brought up on the tray.
  • the optical fiber splices or joints and/or optical fiber ribbon splices have been provided with protective sleeves and the sleeves with the splices have been positioned in the rod-like sleeve holder on the tray that is then lowered.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une plaque d'épissure permettant de raccorder des fibres optiques/rubans de fibres optiques à partir de différents câbles à fibres optiques présentant deux plans (1, 2) connectés directement l'un à l'autre et reliés de manière rotative l'un à l'autre. On peut, de ce fait, manipuler plusieurs fibres optiques/rubans de fibres optiques à partir de différents systèmes de fibres optiques en vue de leur raccordement, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de croiser les fibres optiques individuelles/rubans de fibres optiques. Les fibres optiques/rubans de fibres optiques peuvent être inséré(e)s sur la plaque d'épissure sans les enrouler ou les couper grossièrement à la longueur correcte. On peut ensuite fusionner les extrémités des fibres optiques sans éliminer les fibres optiques/rubans de fibres optiques de la plaque d'épissure.
