Abstract: A splice tray for accommodating optical fibers comprises a body with a plurality of splice holders at fixed locations thereon, the body having fiber access points at which fiber can enter and leave the body. Fiber paths are provided on the body leading from the access points to and from each splice holder, and each holder is adapted to receive and hold a splice reinforcer within which a fiber splice is present. The length of fiber is accommodated on either side of the splice. An adapter is used with a clip-on power meter to take readings of the transmissivity of fibers stored on storage leaves mounted on the tray body.

Abstract: A cable routing has a body (10) and a plurality of cable passages (22) through the body. Each passage has an entry socket (24) adapted to receive a cable end (20), an exit (26) in line with the entry socket and a lateral opening (28). Each passage also has a cross-sectional reduction between the entry socket (24) and the exit (26) to limit longitudinal movement of a cable (20) along the passage.

Abstract: A sheathing for optical fibres and for optical fibre cables comprises a continuous length of tubing with the tubing walls being designed to allow the tube to be bent to a predetermined radius but to hinder its bending to a radius smaller than the predetermined radius. The tube walls (12) include portions (18) which are spaced apart when the tube is straight, but abut one another at (20) when the tube is bent to the predetermined radius.
