Abstract

Abstract Translated from Norwegian En innretning for ordning av et antall belagte, optiske fibrer (1) i et plan,. og en fremgangsmåte for kollektiv smelteskjøting ved benyttelse av innretningen. Fremgangsmåten omfatter de trinn å ordne to sett av de belagte, optiske fibrer (1) i det nevnte plan, å fastspenne endepartier av de belagte, optiske fibrer (1) i hvert av settene ved hjelp av en fastspenningsanordning (11), kollektivt å fjerne belegg fra endepartiene av de belagte, optiske fibrer (1) i hvert av settene slik at det oppnås avdekkede fiberendepartier (4), kollektivt å avskjære de avdekkede fiberendepartier (4) i hvert av settene slik at det oppnås avskårne endeflater, kollektivt å smelteskjøte de to sett av de avskårne endeflater slik at det frembringes skjøter (5), og kollektivt å forsterke skjøtene (5). A device for arranging a number of coated optical fibers (1) in a plane ,. and a method for collective fusion splicing using the device. The method comprises the steps of arranging two sets of the coated optical fibers (1) in said plane, clamping end portions of the coated optical fibers (1) in each of the sets by means of a clamping device (11), collectively removing coating from the end portions of the coated optical fibers (1) in each of the sets so as to obtain exposed fiber end portions (4), collectively cutting the exposed fiber end portions (4) in each of the sets so as to obtain cut end surfaces, collectively fusing the two sets of the cut end faces so as to produce joints (5), and collectively reinforce the joints (5).
