  • Optical waveguide termination
    Patent number: 6690874
    Abstract: An optical waveguide termination of an optical waveguide phase conductor, consisting of a tubular composite insulator, with a top fitting attached to one end and a bottom fitting attached to the opposite end, in which an optical cable is routed in a fluid-tight manner into the bottom fitting; the optical waveguides and/or cores of the optical cable are routed in the interior of the composite insulator to the top fitting; the optical waveguides and/or cores lie as a spare length in the top fitting; at least one splice cassette, for accommodating the splice joints of the optical fibres of the optical cable and of the optical fibres of the phase conductor, is disposed in the top fitting; and the interior of the composite insulator is filled, free from bubbles, with a liquid filling compound.
    Type: Grant
