ABSTRACT:
An optical fibre storage system comprising a container in which turns of fibre (4) are wound in a substantially helical formation, the diameter of the turns and container being such the turns of fibre are maintained in position by their natural resilience pressing them outwardly against the inside of the container (5). The inside of the container may be coated to aid location of the turns. In another embodiment an inflatable member located within the turns is inflated to press against them to aid positional stability. A source of gas may be connected to the container to enable propulsion of the fibre out of the container in a duct, or the container itself may be pressurized.
