Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly (AS) comprising at least one optical fibre (FB 1, . . . , FB 6 ) and a mounting device (EF), the at least one fibre protrudes from the mounting device (EF), and the mounting device (EF) is adapted to terminate a tube (TUB) for inserting the at least one optical fibre (FB 1, . . . , FB 6 ). The invention further relates to a method for mounting the assembly (AS).

Claims (15)

1 . An assembly comprising at least one optical fibre and a mounting device, said at least one fibre protrudes from said mounting device, and said mounting device is adapted to terminate a tube for inserting said at least one optical fibre.

2 . Assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a cross section of a hollow space inside said mounting device and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis oriented from a first front side of said mounting device to a second front side of said mounting device is filled with a filler material.

3 . Assembly according to claim 2 , wherein said filler material encloses a splice for said at least one optical fibre.

4 . Assembly according to claim 3 , wherein said at least one optical fibre is extended from said splice by an outdoor pigtail.

5 . Assembly according to claim 4 , wherein said filler material is a two-component adhesive, epoxy, silicon or vulcanized rubber.

6 . Assembly according to claim 5 , wherein said filler material encloses said at least one optical fibre over a predefined longitudinal length of said at least one optical fibre and wherein said predefined length is adapted to a consistency and/or stiffness of said filler material and/or to a mechanical force impacting on said at least one optical fibre.

7 . Assembly according to claim 6 , wherein said predefined length is in a range between 1 cm and 10 cm.

8 . Assembly according to claim 7 , wherein said assembly further comprises said tube, wherein said mounting device is mounted to an end face of said tube and wherein said at least one fibre penetrates said tube from said end face to an opposite end face of said tube.

9 . Assembly according to claim 8 , wherein said mounting device comprises a first cylindrical part completely or partly filled with said filler material and a second part mounted to said first cylindrical part and mounted to said end face of said tube.

10 . Assembly according to claim 9 , wherein said second part is a cable gland.

11 . Assembly according to claim 10 , wherein said tube is a coaxial cable with an inner hollow conductor and wherein said inner hollow conductor is adapted to comprise said at least one optical fibre.

12 . A Base station comprising said assembly according to claim 8 .

13 . Method for mounting an assembly, said method comprising:

inserting into a tube at least one optical fibre of said assembly protruding from a mounting device of said assembly; and

terminating an end face of said tube with said mounting device.
