The invention relates to an optical fiber sealing unit that contains a basic
bundle consisting of light-transmitting fibers, a signalling bundle also consisting
of light-transmitting fibers, a cable sheath, and receiving bodies positioned at
both ends of the cable sheath. The receiving bodies have an accepting space suitable
for the fixing of at least some of the light-transmitting fibers, and a transmitting
body that allows light to pass through it. The basic bundle and the signalling
bundle are arranged in the cable sheath, and the one end and the other end of the
basic bundle are each fixed in the accepting space of a receiving body in such
a way that they cannot move, one end of the basic bundle being fitted to the transmitting
body of one of the receiving bodies, and the other end of the basic bundle being
fitted to the transmitting body of the other receiving body. One end of the signalling
bundle is fixed in the vicinity of the one end of the basic bundle so as to prevent
light input, while the other end of the signalling bundle is clamped into the light-transmitting
output member in the vicinity of the other end of the basic bundle.
