Abstract: A sub-ducting apparatus comprising a sub-duct, and a remotely operable path-finding head for facilitation of the subduct into a duct. The head is detachable at the end of the subduct and includes an expandable portion or a cutter, as a result of which, twisted or jammed cables may be removed from the duct.

Abstract: An optical fiber connection terminal for use in the office or domestic environment includes a three-part module, having a base unit, an organizer unit and a top unit. An optical fiber cable, such as a blown fiber cable, is brought to the base unit where both the outer covering and the secondary coated optical fibers carried by the cable are secured against tensile forces. The three units of the module are then designed to store fiber, to hold splice protectors where necessary, and to provide a well protected route for the fibers from the cable to an easily accessible connection point for customer use in the top unit of the module. Connection or termination of each fiber at the connection point can be made and remade, drawing spare fiber length from a storage area in the module without disassembling the module. An important part of the module lies in a cam action clamping mechanism for retaining fiber within the module.
