An optical fiber holding structure is used to restrain high fiber count fibers or to provide splice protection in a cable joint. Layers of fibers are inserted between a compliant splint member and a semi-rigid splint member, which are positioned within an outer gripping tube such as a heat shrink tube. Optionally, an internal support can be positioned between the layers of fibers. The assembly is heated causing the heat shrink tube to apply a gripping force to the splint members and fibers supported therebetween. Where more than two layers of fibers are being restrained, internal supports can be positioned between each of the fiber layers. One type of internal support includes a rigid beam coated with a compliant material.

L'invention concerne une structure de retenue de fibres optiques utilisée pour retenir des fibres contenant un nombre élevé de fibres ou pour permettre la protection d'épissure dans une dérivation. Des couches de fibres sont insérées entre un élément attelle souple et un élément attelle rigide, lesquels sont placés à l'intérieur d'un tube d'accrochage extérieur, tel qu'un tube de dissipateur thermique. éventuellement, un support interne peut être placé entre les couches de fibres. L'ensemble est chauffé, ainsi, le tube de dissipateur thermique applique une force de préhension aux éléments attelles et aux fibres maintenues entre ces éléments. Lorsque au moins deux couches de fibres doivent être retenues, des supports internes peuvent être positionner entre chacune des couches de fibres. Un type de support interne comprend une barre rigide enrobée d'un matériau souple.
