METHOD FOR ACCESSING OPTICAL FIBERS INCLUDED IN AN OPTICAL MODULE OF AN OPTICAL FIBER TRANSMISSION CABLE

摘要

A method is proposed for access to optical fibres contained in an optical module, with a flexible structure for example, of an optical fibre transmission cable, the optical module comprising a protective sheath in which the optical fibres are housed. Such a method comprises the following steps: - extraction (21) of the optical module from the transmission cable; - degradation (22) by heating of a portion to be stripped of the sheath of the optical module to a specific temperature, for a predetermined duration; - access (23) to the optical fibres by stripping the portion to be stripped that has been degraded.
