ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a storage device for a spare length of at least one optical fibre which emerges from a cable end, which stroage device can be arranged in the vicinity of the cable end and comprises a flat stroage space in which the spare length is arranged in the form of a coil, the end of the optical fibre which leads to the joint being extractable, during which operation the diameter of the coil is reduced, the storage space comprising guide walls which define the minimum inner coil diameter, the maximum outer coil diameter and also the axial height. In order to ensure that the mobility length required for moving the storage device away from a housing can be accommodated in an ordered manner, the storage space is divided into two winding spaces (7, 8), one of which (8) accommodates the connection length required for forming the joint while the other storage space (7) accommodates a mobility length which is required for moving the storage device away from the cable end, lengths of the optical fibre being independently extractable from both winding spaces (7, 8).
