ABSTRACT:
Method for splicing optical fiber cables which applies to those cables having an axial core and fibers disposed around the core, parallel to the cable axis or having a slight slant with respect thereto. At the places where splicing will have to be made, when the cable is laid down, the jacket of the cable is removed the fibers are glued on the core and two half-shells are disposed round the glued fibers and encase them. The half-shells are bonded to the core and fibers by gluing under pressure. When the glue has set, the half-shells together with the fibers and cable core are sawn perpendicularly to the cable axis which gives two half-shell segments. These segments have registering bores and splicing is achieved by inserting calibrated columns or pins into these bores.
