ABSTRACT:
A compact configuration of a large number of splicing modules that enables each splicing module to be freely accessible is made by connecting each splicing module to a carrier with a pivotal connection so that the pivoting axis extends through the interior of the splicing module, parallel to the direction in which the light waveguide bundle is introduced into the splicing module. The pivoting axes of several splicing modules extend parallel to one another. Each splicing module has a hollow cylinder that is mounted to the carrier with U-sections. Light waveguides are led through the hollow cylinders to each splicing module. No excess length of the light waveguides is necessary since the hollow cylinders remain stationary during pivoting of a splicing module. The pivotal connection of the splicing modules enables them to be "leafed through" like a book. Each splicing module can be accessed in this manner so that the light waveguide splices located on it can be renewed or repaired. The invention can be used in light waveguide splice coupling boxes.
