Abstract

A cassette for housing and protecting splices of optical fibers, comprising a substrate and a lid, is provided. The substrate has a substrate body comprising a splice area for allowing the splices to be located thereon. A platform protruding from the substrate body has V-grooves on a top-end surface for guiding the optical fibers. The lid comprises a lid body comprising a platform-facing area for pressing towards the top-end surface when the substrate and the lid are integrated to form an assembled cassette. Multiple legs protruding from the lid body other than the platform-facing area are arranged such that a channel for allowing the optical fibers to pass through is formed between two of the legs. As a result, the channel overlies and covers the splice area to provide physical protection to the splices. The cassette is simple in structure while providing sufficient protection to the splices.
