The cable having a core, a reinforcement cover for protecting the core as well as an outer jacket, wherein the reinforcement cover and the outer jacket are stripped off the core, at least in sections, and the stripped-off reinforcement cover is folded back; as well as the cable carrier, to which the cable is fastened with the fold-back section of the reinforcement cover. Further provided is a method of fastening at least one cable having a core, a reinforcement cover for protecting the core as well as an outer jacket, such as an optical fibre cable, at a cable carrier, such as the housing of a splitter. ## Claims ### Claim 1 Cable fixture assembly for fastening at least one cable at a cable carrier, such as a housing of a splitter, said assembly comprising: the cable having a core, a reinforcement cover for protecting the core as well as an outer jacket, wherein the reinforcement cover and the outer jacket are stripped off the core, at least in sections, and the stripped-off reinforcement cover is folded back; as well as the cable carrier, to which the cable is fastened with the fold-back section of the reinforcement cover, and a strengthening member, around which the fold-back section of the reinforcement cover is looped. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 1, wherein the strengthening member is arranged at the tip of the stripped-off outer jacket. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the strengthening member is positioned, in the longitudinal direction (L) of the cable, between the reinforcement cover and the outer jacket. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 1, wherein the stripped-off reinforcement cover is formed as at least one fixation tab. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 4, wherein the fixation tab is shaped as a thread having a defined thread size (W6a). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 1, wherein the assembly comprises at least one organising organ for arranging at least one, preferably more than one, cable at a predefined position with respect to the cable carrier, the strengthening member and/or to one another. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 1, wherein the at least one organising organ comprises an adjustment member, preferably designed as an alignment collar with intersections, for supporting the fold-back section of the reinforcement cover. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 1, wherein the cable fixture assembly comprises at least one retainer for maintaining the stripped-off reinforcement cover, preferably the at least one fixation tab, folded back. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 8, wherein the retainer is an eye arranged in the strengthening member, said eye preferably being provided with an insertion access, which opens into a guideway facilitating the insertion of the stripped-back reinforcement cover through the insertion access into the eye. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 9, wherein the guideway is a funnel expanding with increasing distance from the insertion access. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 10, wherein the inner width (W47) of the insertion access is smaller than the thread size (W6a) of the thread. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 1, wherein the fold-back section of the reinforcement cover is fastened to the cable carrier by an adhesive. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) Cable fixture assembly according to claim 12, wherein the cable carrier comprises an injection opening for inserting the adhesive, which injection opening opens in an injection direction (I) running transverse to the longitudinal direction (L). ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) A splitter comprising a plurality of cables wherein by comprising at least one cable fixture assembly according to claim 1. ### Claim 15 A method of fastening at least one cable having a core, a reinforcement cover for protecting the core as well as an outer jacket, such as an optical fibre cable, at a cable carrier, such as the housing of a splitter, the method comprising the steps of: stripping the reinforcement cover and the outer jacket off the core, at least in sections; folding back the stripped-off reinforcement cover; and fastening the fold-back section of the reinforcement cover to the cable carrier, characterised by: looping the fold-back section of the reinforcement cover around a strengthening member.
