An optical fibre joint enclosure (10) including a plurality of carriers (50) for supporting a plurality of optical fibre connectors. At least one carrier (50) is rotatable or pivotable between a first position and a second position, independent of an adja-cent carrier. The first position is an in-use orientation of an optical fibre connector (45) and the second position provides improved access to an end face of the optical fibre connector 45. The carrier (50) itself includes a hub portion (90), engaging an adjacent hub portion of adjacent carrier, an arm portion (100) attached to the hub portion, the arm portion (100) supporting the optical fibre con-nector (45), and a release member (105) preventing the hub portion (90) from rotating unless the release member (105) is activated. Also disclosed is a method of inspecting, testing or cleaning an end face of the optical fibre connector (45) in situ.

L'invention porte sur un boîtier de raccord de fibres optiques (10) comprenant une pluralité de supports (50) pour porter une pluralité de connecteurs de fibres optiques. Au moins un support (50) est rotatif ou peut pivoter entre une première position et une seconde position, indépendamment d'un support adjacent. La première position est une orientation en utilisation d'un connecteur de fibres optiques (45) et la seconde position fournit un accès amélioré à une face d'extrémité du connecteur de fibres optiques (45). Le support (50) comprend lui-même une partie moyeu (90) qui met en prise la partie moyeu adjacente d'un support adjacent, une partie bras (100) étant attachée à la partie moyeu (100) et portant le connecteur de fibres optiques (45), et un élément de libération (105) qui empêche la partie moyeu (90) de tourner sauf si l'élément de libération (105) est activé. L'invention porte également sur un procédé d'inspection, d'essai ou de nettoyage d'une face d'extrémité du connecteur de fibres optiques (45) in situ.
