An optical fiber arrangement method includes: preparing an intermittently connected optical fiber ribbon including optical fibers arranged side by side at a first pitch larger than a fiber diameter; holding a non-connecting region of the optical fiber ribbon with a holder, where connecting portions intermittently connect the optical fibers extending out from the holder to each other; changing a width of the optical fiber ribbon in an interior of the holder; and arranging the optical fibers, extending out from the holder, with intervals of the optical fibers changed from the first pitch to a second pitch smaller than the first pitch by removing the connecting portions in a state where the holder is holding the optical fibers.

The present invention relates to a rapid optical fiber link restoration solution rapidly deployed by pulling, blowing, jetting or hanging in an aerial, on-ground, underground or inside a duct includes an optical fiber connector and an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber connector is connected at both ends of the optical fiber cable. Particularly, the optical fiber cable is dielectric and has a tensile strength 2500 N and a crush resistance of 2000 N/100 mm. Moreover, the optical fiber connector has water resistance for 1.5 meters of water-head for a maximum period of 30 minutes.

A telecommunications closure includes a base interface (10) for supporting the closure (60) during assembly, or repair, or later servicing, or installation, or as a permanent mount. The base interface (10) includes structure for mounting to cables, structure for mounting to elements for connecting to the interior elements of the closure (60), and elements for mounting to an interface support. A support device can be used as a workstand, a lift device, a pole mount, a wall mount or another mounting system.

A housing structure includes: an optical cable including optical fibers; connector units branching off from the optical cable; and a housing body that houses the connector units. Each of the connector units includes: a first tube through which the optical fibers pass; second tubes through each of which the optical fibers branching off from the first tube pass; and a connector group constituted by optical connectors that are each disposed at an end part of each of the second tubes. The connector group of each of the connector units is disposed at a different position in a length direction from the connector group of any other one of the connector units. The first tube of each of the connector units other than a first connector unit that is shortest among the connector units overlaps in the length direction the connector group of the first connector unit.
