METHOD OF ENCAPSULATING AN OPTICAL COMPONENT FOR INTERCONNECTING OPTICAL FIBERS, ENCAPSULATED COMPONENT OBTAINED BY IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD AND ENVELOPE FORMING PART OF THIS COMPONENT.

摘要

A process for encapsulating a component for interconnecting optical fibers wherein a bar connected to the fibers is inserted and sealed with a sealing composition into an elongated housing with U-shaped cross-section, and an encapsulated component manufactured by this process, wherein the regions of the junctions between the fibers and the bar are protected from the flow of the sealing composition.
