ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic cable restoration apparatus preferably includes two weather-tight enclosures, connector panel with a plurality of connector interfaces for optically coupling two optical fibers received therein. Each connector interface includes a bare fiber adapters for receiving a bare optical fiber therein. The connector interfaces of each connector panel are connected across a connectorized MIC cable to form a communication bridge therebetween. Two cut ends of a cable can be repaired by inserting the individual fibers of one cut cable end into respective bare fiber connectors of one enclosure and inserting the individual fibers of the other cut cable end into the respective bare fiber adapters of the other enclosure. The apparatus is easier and faster to use and more cost efficient than present methods of repairing cables and eliminates the need for circuit rerouting operations altogether.
