Abstract

A fibre-optic component package includes one or more fibre optic components (11) and an inner housing (12) supporting the component(s), one or more optical fibers (18, 19) associated with the component(s) extending from the housing, and a sub-stantially moisture impervious layer (13) about the inner housing.
