Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for inserting optical fibers into furcation tubes comprises a plurality duct-like channels each configured to receive one of the furcation tubes in such a way that the furcation tube is insertable from a first side of the apparatus into the duct-like channel so that a long tube section of the furcation tube can be left protruding on the first side and a short tube section of the furcation tube can protrude on an opposite second side of the apparatus. Each duct-like channel is further configured so that a portion of the long tube section becomes spread apart along a longitudinal slot of the furcation tube, thereby allowing an optical fiber to be inserted into the short tube section and extended through the furcation tube before protruding from the longitudinal slot in the long tube section.
