Optical cable header

An optical cable header for providing optical connections to individual fibers of an optical cable by bringing connection end fittings mounted on the individual cable fibers with other connection end fittings on external optical fibers, the improvement wherein said header comprises:

• a plurality of optical connector supports, each support having an elongate body in the form of a hollow finger having opposite ends,
• an optical connector member fixedly mounted to each hollow finger at one end and being coupled to a connection end fitting,
• a coil former on one side of each hollow finger adjacent the other of said opposite finger ends, for receiving the single fiber of said cable, said cable fiber terminating at said connection end fitting inside said finger;
• and
• a magazine having laterally opposed sidewalls and opposite front and rear faces at opposite ends thereof, said magazine further comprising a plurality of individual cavities extending parallel to each other from said front face to said rear face and opening to said front and rear faces at respective opposite ends, said cavities receiving, respectively, said optical connector supports with said connector members constituting optical accesses to the individual fibers of said cable, and said accesses being at said front face of said magazine.
