Abstract
An optical fibre splice assembly having a pair of spigots and a sleeve, the sleeve having an internal bore of dimension large enough to permit retraction of the sleeve over at least one of the spigots, each spigot having a bore to accomodate an optical fibre adapted to be secured to an optical fibre cable through its coverings. A method for producing such an assembly is also disclosed comprising the steps of: attaching optical cables to spigots; passing optical fibres through a bore in each spigot; retracting a sleeve over one spigot; splicing together the optical fibres; returning the sleeve over the spigots; tensioning the spliced optical fibers; and then, fixing the sleeve to both spigots.
