ABSTRACT:
In order to spread optical fibers emerging from an end of cable and to firmly attach the cable end with ends of protective jackets in which the spread fibers are strung, the following steps are performed by means a spreading device including mainly a grooved hollow distributor. The distributor is fastened to a sawn off end of a grooved elongated ring in the cable by pinching a central armature emerging from the cable, by jaws housed in the distributor. A split ring is strung around a grooved revolution portion of the distributor. For each fiber, a longitudinal slot of the split ring and a respective groove of the revolution portion are superposed, the end of the jacket of the fiber is entered into the groove through the slot, and the jacket is forced into the groove by partially rotating the split ring so as to superpose the slot and another distributor groove. After entering all the jackets into the grooves, the jackets are jammed in the grooves by clamping the split ring around the distributor portion and narrowing the slot by means of a clamping ring cooperating with an external truncated surface of the split ring. The clamping ring is screwed to a sleeve surrounding the cable end and the distributor. The device is intented to be secured to a wall of an optical fiber connection box.
