Abstract:
An arrangement for handling optical fibers in a confined space contained in optical fiber cables in an insulated space, wherein the insulated space comprises at least one under part and at least one upper part, in that means are provided between the under part and the upper part for sealing, in that means for sealing comprises at least one elastic tight transit for an optical fiber cable including an opening, at least one side of which is tapered, the transit being a sealing material between contact areas of the under and upper parts, in that at least one channel in said insulated space for guiding the optical fiber cable into said insulated space is provided with the elastic tight transit, wherein the transit can adaptively seal to encase optical fiber cables that have different diameters and that extend in different directions, and wherein an optical fiber cable extending through said transit can be angled at a permitted angle so as to allow the direction of the cable to be adapted outside said insulated space.
