An optical fibre connection terminal for use in the office or domestic environment comprises a three-part module, having a base unit (1a, 1b), an organiser unit and a top unit. An optical fibre cable such as a blown fibre cable, is brought to the base unit (1a, 1b) where both the outer covering and the secondary coated optical fibres carried by the cable are secured against tensile forces. The three units (1, 2, 3) of the module are then designed to store fibre, to hold splice protectors where necessary, and to provide a well protected route for the fibres from the cable to an easily accessible connection point for customer use in the top unit of the module. Connection or termination of each fibre at the connection point can be made and remade, drawing spare fibre length from a storage area in the module without disassembling the module. An important part of the module lies in a cam action clamping mechanism for retaining fibre within the module. The module provides an optical fibre connection terminal which is equivalent to a 13 amp mains electricity terminal for connection of domestic or office equipment to an optical communications network.
