ABSTRACT:
A splice cassette housing for optical waveguides has to be brought from an installation position, e.g. a socket-type housing, to a splice position. The incoming and outgoing optical waveguide cables fed with known splice cassette housings along the longitudinal sidewalls are disadvantageous for the free mobility of the splice cassette housing. In order to achieve a high degree of freedom in the mobility of the splice cassette housing, the incoming and outgoing optical waveguide cables 8 and 9 are usually fed separately from each other to the splice cassette housing in a common axis within a flexible hose. Further, a groove-type guide channel 11 in the shape of a member "9" is provided in the bottom 6 of the housing for a change in direction of one of the optical waveguide cables by 180.degree., in order to be able to feed the individual optical waveguides again from opposed directions to the splice position. The splice cassette housing is suitable for applications especially in cable-terminal boxes, but also in cable distributors and the like for glass-fiber cables.
