Abstract

An assembly (100) comprises an optical device (6), a housing (2a, 8) in which the optical device is housed and an optical fibre cable (10) which extends through a passageway (11, 18) in the housing to be coupled to the optical device. The passageway has an entrance (7) on an exterior side of the housing and an exit (13) on an interior side of the housing. The optical fibre cable has a first section with a first transverse dimension (d2, d3) on the entrance side of the passageway, a second section with a second transverse dimension (d1) which is less than the first transverse dimension in the passageway and a third section with a third transverse dimension (d4) which is greater than the second transverse dimension between the exit of the passageway and the optical device.
