具体实施方式
在以下描述中将通过示例进一步阐明各种实施方式。一般来说,描述涉及使用追踪波导促成电缆组件的端部的可追踪性的电缆组件。本描述还涉及形成可追踪电缆组件的方法。
数据中心或类似的网络位置中发生的一个问题是由大量电缆造成的拥塞和杂乱。具体地,图1示出设备机架2中的拥塞的示例。图2示出地板下电缆托架4中的拥塞。网络运营商常常需要改变连接以适应网络中的移动、添加和改变。然而,运营商可能发现,在网络位置拥塞时难以从源头到接收器追踪特定电缆,如图1和图2所示出。
本文中描述的各种实施方式可并入到追踪系统中,所述追踪系统使得技术人员执行追踪或以其他方式识别拥塞环境中的电缆的过程相对方便和快捷。因此,技术人员能够从多种其他电缆(也可为电信跳接线)当中可靠地识别所讨论的电缆(可为电信跳接线)。追踪系统还可能具有如下优点:其为仅使用与电缆相关联的无源光学追踪元件(虽然是有源的,但仍可根据需要除无源追踪元件之外还提供电子追踪元件)的光活化追踪系统。本公开的方面是在可追踪电缆内设置一个或多个追踪光纤以实现电缆的从电缆的一端或两端的可追踪性。本公开的又一方面是在不使电缆与对应插座断开连接的情况下追踪电缆的能力。本公开的另一方面是有效地制造这类可追踪电缆组件。在以下描述中将通过示例进一步阐明各种实施方式。
图3示出表示一个可能的实施方式的电缆3的横截面。电缆3可包括一个或多个数据传输元件7。图3中示出两个这类数据传输元件7,但电缆3可包括任何数目个数据传输元件7。
数据传输元件7相对于彼此可为相同类型或不同类型。一般来说,数据传输元件7是能够将数据信号从电缆3的一端载送到另一端的结构。数据传输元件7可被配置成例如使用铜线或其他导电材料来传输电信号。可选地,或另外,数据传输元件7可被配置成通过传导例如紫外光、红外光或可见光等电磁波来传输光学信号以将数据从一个位置载送到另一位置。图3中示出的数据传输元件7为具有芯5和包层6的后一类型(即,光学传输元件)。也可存在位于电缆3内处于数据传输元件7与护套10之间的强力构件(例如,芳族聚酰胺线,未示出)或其他元件。
在又一些实施方式中,电缆3在没有任何数据传输元件7的情况下可以更适当地被称为导线管。例如,电缆3可传输例如空气或液体等流体,并且可适合于在例如IV线或氧气管道的医疗环境中使用。
电缆3包括护套10。护套10可以是中空管,其形成大致环绕数据传输元件7并且限定电缆3的外表面16的导线管8。可选地,数据传输元件7可以部分或完全嵌入于护套10内。
本公开的电缆3包括一个或多个追踪器元件,例如追踪光纤20。设置追踪器元件以使运营商能够通过以下操作在一端识别电缆3:将光注入到电缆3的相对端中。在一些实施方式中,运营商可以在利用或不利用特殊设备例如IR相机的情况下视觉识别追踪器元件。出于可视化目的以被配置成传输和发出追踪器光的追踪光纤20的形式示出图3的追踪器元件。
在若干配置中的一个配置中,可并入追踪光纤20作为电缆3的部分。例如,在图3示出的实施方式中,追踪光纤20在护套10限定的导线管8内部与数据传输元件7相邻。在又一些实施方式中,追踪光纤20可安装到护套10的外表面16或以其他方式附接到护套10。在其他实施方式中,追踪光纤20可部分或完全并入于护套10内。
追踪器元件可为任何类型的光波导。例如,在一些实施方式中,追踪器元件是塑料光纤(plastic optical fiber;POF),例如图3、4、6和7中示出的追踪光纤20。在其他实施方式中,追踪器元件可为玻璃光纤或任何其他类型的光波导。追踪光纤20在本文中可互换地被称为光波导。追踪光纤20可传导不可见光或可见光,例如大约520nm下的绿色光。红色光、蓝色光或其组合也可用以辅助追踪电缆3。可归因于人眼对绿色光的相对高的敏感度而使用绿色光,并且520nm是可用作追踪光纤20的常规的PMMA类塑料光纤(POF)的传输频谱的最低损失部分。
在一些实施方式中,光纤20包括芯5和包层6。芯5可由具有第一折射率的玻璃尤其是基于二氧化硅的玻璃制成。可选地,芯5可由聚合物形成。芯5的大小不受特定限制,但在一些实施方式中,直径可介于约100微米与约250微米之间。芯5可具有例如125微米的直径。明显较小的芯5可经历来自处置的损坏并且在耦联方面更具挑战性,并且明显较大的芯5可在弯曲时受到损坏。
包层6也可由玻璃或聚合物例如含氟丙烯酸酯制成。包层6的材料可经选择为具有不同于芯5的折射率的折射率。包层6的折射率低于芯5的折射率。所述折射率可产生阶跃折射率追踪光纤20。在其他实施方式中,光纤20可为梯形或三角形折射率光纤。包层6紧密环绕芯5以促成维持追踪光纤20内的光。追踪光纤20可为单模光纤或多模光纤。
在图4中示意性地示出示例电缆组件30。一般来说,电缆组件包括第一连接器12、第二连接器14以及在第一连接器12与第二连接器14之间延伸的电缆3。电缆3具有至少一个数据传输元件7和至少一个追踪光纤20以允许准确识别电缆组件30的端部。在使用中,可追踪电缆3可在两个位置(例如数据中心、电信机房等中的两个设备机架)处的插座36、38之间延伸。第一连接器12和第二连接器14存在于电缆3的相对端上以允许电缆组件30充当网络的部件之间的跳接线。连接器12、14可取决于电缆3和所连接的部件的性质而存在很大差别。所选择的具体类型的连接器12、14应匹配网络部件的插座36、38的配置并且将基于电缆3所传输的信号的数量和类型而变化。
在图5-7中示出供在本公开的电缆组件30中使用的示例连接器。图5示出第一示例连接器12的透视图。连接器12可为任何适合类型的连接器,例如双工LC光纤连接器。在一些实施方式中,连接器12被配置成接受来自标号32所识别的位置处的发射工具的追踪器光。当追踪光在电缆组件30的相对端注入到连接器中时,连接器12也可发出光。因此,在一些实施方式中,连接器12、14的至少部分由半透明的或透明材料制成。
图6示出示例电缆组件30的第一连接器12和第二连接器14以及电缆3的水平截面。图6示出沿着电缆3的长度在第一连接器12与第二连接器14之间延伸的追踪光纤20。追踪光纤20包括在第一连接器12中或附近的第一端32和在第二连接器14中或附近的第二端34。
追踪光纤20包括第一端32附近的第一弯曲部24和第二端34附近的第二弯曲部26。第一弯曲部24和第二弯曲部26可等于或小于九十度以允许光便利地注入到追踪光纤20中并且允许从追踪光纤20发出的光可见。例如,如果用户需要识别第二连接器的位置,那么在第一连接器12与第一连接器插座(参见例如图4中的连接器插座36)接合时,追踪光纤20的第一弯曲部24允许光注入到追踪光纤20中。同时,在第二连接器14与第二连接器插座(参见例如图4中的连接器插座38)接合时,第二弯曲部26允许从第二连接器14发出光。追踪光纤20还在相反方向上起作用。例如,如果用户需要识别第一连接器的位置,那么在第二连接器14与第二连接器插座接合(参见例如图4中的连接器插座38)时,第二弯曲部26促成光注入到第二连接器14中。同时,在第一连接器14与第一连接器插座(参见例如图4中的连接器插座36)接合时,第一弯曲部24允许从第一连接器14发出光。因此,可在不使连接器12、14与对应插座36、38断开连接的情况下,在两个方向上追踪电缆组件30。因为电缆具有“双向”可追踪性,因此为用户提供便利。
追踪光纤20的弯曲部24、26可分别位于第一连接器12和第二连接器14中,以保护弯曲部24、26免受损坏并且维持适当的弯曲半径。适当的弯曲半径可为减小对追踪光纤20的衰减或损坏风险的半径。在一些实施方式中,通过连接器12、14的配合表面将追踪光纤20的弯曲部24、26固持在适当位置。在又一些实施方式中,如在图7中所示,通过将光纤集成到连接器12、14内的弯曲腔50中,将追踪光纤20的弯曲部24、26固持在适当位置。在又一些实施方式中,通过环氧化物和/或机械紧固件将追踪光纤20的端部32、34固持在连接器12、14的侧部中的开口40处的适当位置。
在图6和7中,第一追踪光纤20和第二追踪光纤22的弯曲部24、26为大约九十度。在其他实施方式中,第一追踪光纤20和第二追踪光纤22的弯曲部24、26可为其他角度。例如,在一些实施方式中,弯曲部24、26介于约零度与约九十度之间。在一些实施方式中,如在图6中所示,约九十度的弯曲可允许光从连接器12、14的侧部部分44注入到第一追踪光纤20和第二追踪光纤22中。在其他实施方式中,弯曲部24、26小于九十度以允许光从连接器12、14上的其他位置注入到追踪光纤20中。
在图6中示出的实施方式中,追踪光纤20的第一端32和第二端34与连接器12、14的侧部部分44的外表面46实质上齐平。然而,在其他实施方式中,端部32、34可位于连接器12、14的内部或外部的其他位置。例如,如在图7中所示,追踪光纤20的第一端32和第二端34可位于连接器12、14内部。在其他实施方式中,追踪光纤20可完全穿过第一连接器12和第二连接器14,使得第一端32和第二端34从第一连接器12和第二连接器14突出并且位于第一连接器12和第二连接器14外部。在一些实施方式中,例如,追踪光纤20的端部32、34突出到连接器12、14外部达小于约2mm、小于约1mm或小于约0.5mm。将追踪光纤20的端部32、34定位成使得其从连接器12、14的外表面46突出或与连接器12、14的外表面46实质上齐平可提供对追踪光纤20发出的光的增强的可见度。
在又一些实施方式中,追踪光纤20的端部32、34可凹入于连接器12、14中的保护腔(未示出)内或可定位在连接器12、14内部,并且连接器12、14的一部分是半透明的以增强追踪光纤20发出的光的可见度。因此,在一些实施方式中,当光发射到追踪光纤20中的第二端34时,追踪光纤20的第一端32能够照亮第一连接器12的至少一部分,并且当光发射到追踪光纤20的第一端32中时,追踪光纤20的第二端34能够照亮第二连接器14的至少一部分。
图7示出电缆组件30的另一实施方式。追踪纤维20的端部32、34容纳于相应连接器12、14内并且包括介于约0度与约90度之间的弯曲部24、26。连接器12、14还包括定向追踪光纤20并且允许插入光注入工具100的一部分的导线管50(参见例如图8-10)。例如,在一些实施方式中,发射光注入工具100包括柔性纤维54,其可插入到导线管50中以将光注入到追踪光纤20的第一端32或第二端34中。来自光注入工具100的柔性纤维54弯曲以将光注入到追踪光纤20的端部32或34中。在一些实施方式中,连接器12、14也可包括被配置成与光注入工具52的柔性纤维54配合的一个或多个光纤连接器子组件,例如套圈。
现在转向图8,示意地示出光注入工具100的示例实施方式。发射光工具100被配置成将光发到追踪光纤20中。发射光工具100可具有储藏于壳体102中的多个元件,包括光源104(例如,红色或绿色激光器)、电源106(例如,电池组),以及分别连接到发射工具100的其他部件以便控制光源104和电力使用的控制电路108。接收器110或其他无线通信部件也可包括于壳体102中或上以从外部控制器接收命令。另外,发射工具100可包括通断开关112和一个或多个用户接口特征,例如扬声器114,以允许产生可听信号。壳体102可大致为标准闪光灯的大小或取决于应用而小得多或大得多。壳体102可足够耐用以保护发射工具100,即使是跌落在坚硬表面上仍会受到保护。应注意,发射工具100的部件可位于壳体102内部或外部。例如,在一些实施方式中,光源104位于附件116处而非壳体102中。
在一个实施方式中,光源104可发出经选择以增强可见度的波长,例如尽可能接近555nm的波长。在一些实施方式中,光源104是510-540nm绿色激光二极管、LED或超辐射发光二极管(super-luminescent diode;SLD)。可选地,可发出其他色彩/波长,例如大致620-660nm的红色光。在其他实施方式中,可使用非激光源,例如发光二极管(light emittingdiode;LED)。当选择适当的光源104时可能考虑到若干因素,并且所述因素可包括但不限于可见度、成本、眼睛安全性、峰值功率、电力消耗、大小和商业可得性。在一些实施方式中,光源104的电力高达根据工业安全标准可安全使用的程度,例如耦合到具有约50微米或更大的芯直径和约0.2或更大的数值孔径的多模递送波导纤维的100mW或更大的绿色激光器。
图8的发射工具100包括递送波导118,其有时被称为脐式管(umbilical)。递送波导118提供将光和/或电力传输到递送波导118的发出端120的路径。递送波导118可具有数米长度,例如使得发射工具100的壳体102可置于地面上,同时附件116与数米外的电缆组件30至少间接耦合。
可根据图9中示意性地示出的方法200制造根据本公开的可追踪电缆组件30。如框202处所示,方法200可包括形成电缆30,所述电缆30具有数据传输元件7、追踪光纤20,以及至少部分地环绕数据传输元件7和追踪光纤20以使得追踪光纤20沿着电缆30的长度的至少一部分延伸的护套10。方法200还包括如框204处所示,将第一弯曲部24置于追踪光纤20的第一端32附近,并且如框206处所示,将第二弯曲部26置于追踪光纤20的第二端34附近。在一些实施方式中,第一弯曲部24等于或小于九十度且第二弯曲部26等于或小于九十度。方法200还包括如框208处所示,将第一连接器12紧固到电缆3的第一端,并且如框210处所示,将第二连接器14紧固到电缆3的第二端。
在一些实施方式中,方法200还包括将追踪光纤20的第一弯曲部24定位于第一连接器12中并且将追踪光纤22的第二弯曲部26定位于第二连接器14中。如上文所论述,追踪光纤20的端部32、34可位于第一连接器12和第二连接器14的内部或外部,或与连接器12、14的外表面46齐平。例如,在一些实施方式中,方法200包括使追踪光纤20的第一端32与第一连接器12的外表面46对齐并且使追踪光纤20的第二端34与第二连接器14的外表面46对齐。
方法200也可包括从追踪光纤20的第一端32移除追踪光纤20的包层6的至少部分,并且从追踪光纤20的第二端34移除追踪光纤20的包层6的至少部分。在一些实施方式中,方法200还包括在追踪光纤20的第一端32并入第一光漫射元件,并且在追踪光纤20的第二端34并入第二光漫射元件。方法200也可包括用半透明材料形成第一连接器12和第二连接器14的至少部分。
光学连接领域的技术人员将了解,已经描述的装置和方法的额外的变化和修改。例如,在图6中示出的实施方式中,追踪光纤20的第一端32和第二端34各自包括弯曲部24、26。然而,在其他实施方式中,追踪光纤20可仅在追踪光纤20的端部32、34中的一个端部包括单个弯曲部,而追踪光纤20的另一端部32、34为大体直线的。在这些实施方式中,追踪光纤20可仅允许对连接器12、14的单向识别而非如上所述的双向识别。此类“一个方向”电缆组件30可在功能性上受到限制,但可为某些应用提供更具成本效益的解决方案。
追踪光纤20的端部32、34可包括增强可见度的光漫射元件或特征。光漫射元件可为增强从追踪光纤20的光漫射的任何元件或特征。例如,漫射元件可为追踪光纤20的端部上的TiO2浸渍的材料层、粗糙化表面、圆锥形端部、散射墨层、抛物线状端部、非平面状端部。漫射元件也可包括反射性元件、折射性元件或前述的任一组合。在一些实施方式中,追踪光纤20的端部32、34不需要抛光或以其他方式进行细调,这可节省与制造电缆组件30相关联的时间和成本。在其他实施方式中,追踪光纤20包括芯5和包层6,并且在追踪光纤20的第一端32和第二端34至少部分地移除包层6以增加从追踪光纤20的第一端32和第二端34的光漫射。
在所附系统权利要求项未明确叙述在以上描述中提到的部件的情况下,不应当假设所述系统权利要求项需要所述部件。另外,在所附方法权利要求项未明确叙述在以上描述中提到的步骤的情况下,不应当假设所述方法权利要求项需要所述步骤。此外,在所附方法权利要求项未实际叙述其步骤要遵循的次序或者基于权利要求语言不要求次序的情况下,不意图推断出任何特定次序。
以上示例不意图以任何方式限制本发明的范围。本领域技术人员将理解,虽然上文已参考实施方式的示例论述了本公开,但是在不脱离如权利要求书所陈述的本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可对本发明做出各种添加、修改和改变。
