Abstract
The invention relates to a protection for glass fibers for telecommunication with air-space paper-insulated core (H1 to Hn) in distribution fields arranged in the form of cassettes. Several air-space paper-insulated cores (H1 to Hn) are assembled according to their length in a composite element (VE1 to VE5), wherein the ends can be cut to the required length if necessary. The air-space paper-insulated acres (H1 to Hn) are assembled according to their length in a discontinued manner using connecting shaped parts or in a continuous manner along the generatrix of the air-space paper-insulated cores.
Claims15
A composite element for protecting and routing glass fibers within a cable sleeve having a distribution field for connecting the glass fibers, the composite element comprising:
- a plurality of hollow leads (H1 to Hn) arranged in the cable sleeve, the hollow leads being gathered together lengthwise and connected to one another at first end portions by elongated connections (V) provided between the hollow leads, the hollow leads being separated at second end portions opposite the first end portions and individually cut to a plurality of different predetermined lengths (HL);
- and
- a connection piece (VF) positioned at a longitudinal portion of the hollow leads between the first end portions and the second end portions, the connection piece completely encompassing the hollow leads.
A composite element for protecting and routing glass fibers within a cable sleeve having a distribution field for connecting the glass fibers, the composite element comprising:
- a plurality of hollow leads (H1 to Hn) arranged in the cable sleeve, the hollow leads being gathered together lenghtwise and connected to one another at first end portions by elongated connections (V) provided between the hollow leads along touching surface lines at a first fixing area (FB1), the hollow leads being separated at second end portions opposite the first end portions and individually cut to a plurality of different predetermined lengths (HL);
- and
- a connection piece (VF) completely encompassing the hollow leads at a second fixing area (FB2) distant from the first fixing area, the first fixing area and the second fixing area providing connection areas for the hollow leads between the first end portions and the second end portions, the connection piece comprising attachment means (B) for fixing the composite element to a predetermined attachment point within the cable sleeve.
