Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A protected package of optical fiber includes a spool which includes a hub and two spaced flanges. Optical fiber is wound on the hub with an end of the fiber b eing accessible to allow the fiber to be tested. A strip of plastic material is wrapp ed about the spool with longitudinal edge portions of the strip overhanging the flanges to pr ovide a cover. The protected package permits withdrawal of the fiber through a gap betwe en the cover and the flanges. Further, in a preferred embodiment, each longitudinal edg e portion is provided with openings. The openings are spaced apart such that when a strip is wrapped about any of expected size spools, at least one pair of the openings wil l become aligned to allow insertion of a fastener which functions to hold the strip assem bled to the spool to protect the fiber and to prevent unintended removal of the cover.
