Abstract: A clamp for inserting an elastic strand into an opening of a receptacle. The clamp includes a longitudinal housing capable of housing a segment of the strand and through which the strand may slide. The clamp further includes: a blocking element including a first portion of the housing, the blocking element deforming a first portion of the housed segment when an external pressure is applied to the blocking element, the elastic force of the strand returning the first portion of the segment to its initial shape when the external pressure is no longer applied, the sliding of the strand being blocked by the bending deformation of the first portion of the housed segment; a guide including a second portion of the housing, the guide at least partially surrounding a second portion of the housed segment, and configured to guide the clamp in the direction of the opening in the receptacle.

Abstract: An optical port including: a base capable of being attached substantially parallel to a planar surface; a spool arranged so as to rotate about a shaft, which is substantially perpendicular to the base; an optical cable rolled up into the spool; and a connector. An inner side of the connector is connected inside the port to a first end, referred to as the “inner end”, of the cable. An outer side of the connector is intended to be connected to an outer optical connection plug. The cable is intended to be unreeled out from the port by pulling one second end, referred to as the “outer end”, of the cable. The pulling rotates the spool on the shaft. The connector is secured to the spool and arranged so as to take at least one position outside the radial configuration of the spool.

Abstract: An end piece is provided for guiding a needle intended to be inserted in a sheath occupied by at least one installed cable. The end piece includes: a free first end referred to as a head of a shape suited to slipping in between an internal wall of the sheath and the at least one installed cable; a second end fixed to the needle; and a part connecting the two ends and referred to as a shank. The shank has a flexibility that increases toward the head.

Abstract: A precabling device in a cabling installation having, inside the installation, at least one stowage module (50) and a plurality of precabling tubes (40) for receiving cables (10). Each of the precabling tubes is fixed to the stowage module (50) in the vicinity of an end (41) thereof.

Abstract: A fixing sleeve for optical cables comprises along a common axis (A), both a first portion (11) that is substantially cylindrical and a second portion (12) that is substantially conical, said first and second portions being pierced by an axial bore (13). The sleeve (10) carries along its entire length a continuous slot communicating with said axial bore (13), the slot comprising a longitudinal first slot (110) in the first portion (11) of the sleeve, and a spiral second slot (120) in the second portion (12) of the sleeve. The sleeve is applicable to laying optical cables inside buildings.
