A protective package for an optical fiber splice comprises two elongate plastic members, each having a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive on a front face. Elongate grooves are formed at each end of each member. The grooves are dimensioned so as to be a close fit over the uncoated portions of spliced fibers and intervening adhesive material, with the members in face-to-face assembly. The members may be hingedly connected by the adhesive layer or by a thin deformable hinge portion. A further groove may connect the end grooves, being of a dimension to fit firmly over the uncoated end portions of spliced fibers.

A protective package for enclosing and protecting a fusion spliced pair of optical fibers, each fiber having an uncoated portion immediately adjacent to the splice and a coated portion spaced from the splice, the package comprising: two elongate plastic members each having a front face; an elongate groove in each front face at each end of each member; a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive material extending over each said front face of each member and overlying said grooves; the elongate grooves of a cross-section such that the grooves fit closely over said coated portions of said fibers, when said members are in face to face assembly, the adhesive material in contact with the coated portions of fibers in the grooves and in contact with the uncoated portions of the fibers adjacent to the fusion splice.
