Abstract

A method for providing preformed optical waveguide pieces includes the steps of connecting the ends of the optical waveguide pieces to one another through the use of connecting components, thereby producing an “endless” optical waveguide which is wound onto a drum. Upon being unwound from the drum, the individual optical waveguide pieces are available for further assembly. A connector for connecting conductor pieces and a drum configuration are also provided.
