ABSTRACT:
A fibre-optic splice case has a support for a sealed box which contains a splice connection strip that connects together the ends of two optical fibres from two separate cables. The box is a sealed assembly having a centre of symmetry. The two cables are connectable to the box. The box has a cylindrical support with a central drum and a coaxial outer wall defines therebetween a housing in which the two cables are unreeled or reeled-up in order to deliver or take up a length of cable sufficient to allow the splice to be made. The box also has two separate straight sides each lying substantially in an extension of the other. The straight sides tubular passages are provided for fixing the ends of the two cables. The ends of these straight sides are joined with bottoms of circular overall shape, giving the box a cross-section in the form of a snail-shell.
