Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / cabling | | French term or phrase: jonction réalisée par fusion | Hi all,
I have come up with various options for translating this term, but none of them seem to be the right one. I am hoping someone knows the corresponding term in US English. This is part of tender specifications for a phone and data cabling contract.
18.4.3 Tiroir fibre optique universelle
Dans la baie de distribution, les câbles fibre optique sont terminés sur des tiroirs fibre optique – largeur de 19’’. Les panneaux sont conformes à l’ISO 11801:2002. La connexion des fibres des câbles de liaison connecteurs se fait grâce à des pigtails de 1m de longueur. ***Les jonctions sont réalisées par fusion.*** Ces pigtails ont branchés sur la face intérieure du panneau.
Le panneau fibre optique fait en métal noir est équipé d’un tiroir télescopique et est ajustable en profondeur.
Dimensions du panneau: Largeur - 19 pouces / Hauteur - 1U / Profondeur - 220 mm.
Le panneau a quatre encoches à l'arrière du panneau adaptées pour le câble fibre optique et a douze encoches pour des coupleurs microduct.
My ideas: fused junction, fused connection, fusion junction, fused joining... the list goes on. I don't necessarily need a noun, I just phrased it that way to comply with KudoZ rules. It could be "The ____ are ____ blank," or really any formulation as long as it is the correct and recognized term in US English.
Thanks! |
