ABSTRACT:
A method for repairing or joining together optical fiber cables is described herein that uses a ferrule to connect two optical fiber cable lengths. Each cable length comprises a metal tube containing one or more optical fibers and a filler material. The ferrule is placed in overlapping relationship with each tube and a lap joint is effected between the ferrule and each tube. An outer sleeve having a length substantially equal to a gap between the tubes is formed about the ferrule and is bonded to each tube. The outer sleeve preferably has an outer periphery substantially corresponding to the outer periphery of the tubes so that the joined cable has a substantially continuous surface. A kit for performing the method is also described.
