[0039] The receiving groove 12 in the receiving assembly 10 fixes the optical cable branch in a specific position inside the equipment, and the optical cable branch will not move during heating and cooling. The heating assembly 40 is located inside the cover assembly 20. After it is started, it will heat the closed cavity 30. The heat shrink material on the surface of the optical cable branch will shrink at high temperature to complete the heat shrink operation of the optical cable branch.
