Fiber optic splice organizer
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and device for organizing a bight of an optical fiber and the like at a splice or slack point is provided, which comprises wrapping the bight about a cylindrical core to form a helix or a pair of helices of opposite handedness, thereby both minimizing the diameter of a container necessary to enclose that bight and maximizing the bend radius of the fiber.
Patent
Heat-recoverable closure assembly
TL;DR: In this article, a heat-recoverable closure assembly for enclosing e.g. cable splices comprising a heat recoverable outer sleeve surrounding a body to be enclosed thereby, a support member surrounding the body and within the sleeve which support member has slotted end portions arranged to form a tapering transition from the support member to the body, and a flexible barrier layer bridging the slots of the slotted portions.

Fibre optic splice organiser
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for organizing a bight in an optical fiber at a splice or slack point, so as to both minimize the size of a container necessary to enclose that bight and maximize the radius through which such fiber is bent, is provided.
