Not much context for you. From handwritten notes (half English, half Russian) regarding measurement of loss in fiber optic cables that have been spliced:

I think I'm going to go with "in a tight loop"--I think they are referring to the effect of curvature on the signal strength, b/c in other places they have mentioned taking measurements on a section of cable that has been stretched straight.

Explanation:
"stressed" would be more of "подтянутый" (pulled by rotating a coil or pulled otherwise).
for me, "поджать" generally means "press more/ tighten more", although, without knowing exactly how the splice in question is made, it is difficult to give exact answer

as far as I know, the splice of cables is generally carried out by junction box
