通信光可視化構造においては、光通信路における通信状況の目視確認を行う際に、通信光検知器を通信光可視化アダプタに嵌挿するための嵌挿空間を確保する必要があるが、複数の通信光可視化アダプタが整列して実装される通信光可視化パッチパネルを複数段に積層して配置しようとすると、嵌挿空間を十分に確保することができなくなるため、通信光可視化アダプタの高密度実装を目指す上で障害となっている。 In the communication light visualization structure, when visually checking the communication status in the optical communication path, it is necessary to secure an insertion space for inserting the communication light detector into the communication light visualization adapter, but a plurality of communications If you try to stack and arrange the communication light visualization patch panels in which the optical visualization adapters are mounted in multiple stages, it will not be possible to secure sufficient fitting space. Therefore, high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter is required. It is an obstacle to aiming.

そこで、本発明の目的は、複数段に積層して配置することができ、通信光可視化アダプタの高密度実装を実現することが可能な通信光可視化パッチパネルを提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a communication light visualization patch panel that can be stacked and arranged in a plurality of stages and can realize high-density mounting of a communication light visualization adapter.

本発明は、光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の一部を漏洩光として取り出すための複数の通信光可視化アダプタが整列して実装されると共に複数段に亘って階段状に位置をずらして配置される複数のパネルを備える通信光可視化パッチパネルである。 In the present invention, a plurality of communication light visualization adapters for extracting a part of the communication light transmitted through the optical communication path as leakage light are arranged and mounted, and are arranged in a stepwise manner over a plurality of stages. It is a communication light visualization patch panel including a plurality of panels to be used.

本発明によれば、複数段に積層して配置することができ、通信光可視化アダプタの高密度実装を実現することが可能な通信光可視化パッチパネルを提供することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a communication light visualization patch panel that can be stacked and arranged in a plurality of stages and can realize high-density mounting of a communication light visualization adapter.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に順って説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図1,2に示す通り、本発明の実施の形態に係る通信光可視化パッチパネル100は、光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の一部を漏洩光として取り出すための複数の通信光可視化アダプタ101が整列して実装されると共に複数段に亘って階段状に位置をずらして配置される複数のパネル102を備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the communication light visualization patch panel 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 for extracting a part of the communication light transmitted through the optical communication path as leakage light. The panels 102 are arranged and mounted, and are arranged in a stepwise manner over a plurality of stages.

通信光可視化アダプタ101は、例えば、光ファイバからなる光通信路を光学的に接続するための1組のSCフェルールを内装している。1組のSCフェルールは、両端に研磨が施されており、光通信路の光軸をずらすために少しだけずらして突合接続されている。これにより、光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の一部を漏洩光として取り出すことが可能となる。 The communication optical visualization adapter 101 includes, for example, a set of SC ferrules for optically connecting an optical communication path made of an optical fiber. A set of SC ferrules is polished at both ends and is butt-connected with a slight shift in order to shift the optical axis of the optical communication path. This makes it possible to take out a part of the communication light transmitted through the optical communication path as leaked light.

また、通信光可視化アダプタ101は、漏洩光を通信光可視化アダプタ101の内部から外部に向けて導光して取り出すための光取出孔を有している。通信光可視化アダプタ101の光取出孔に通信光検知器の受光素子が嵌挿されるように、通信光可視化アダプタ101に通信光検知器が取り付けられる。 Further, the communication light visualization adapter 101 has an optical extraction hole for guiding the leaked light from the inside of the communication light visualization adapter 101 toward the outside and taking it out. The communication light detector is attached to the communication light visualization adapter 101 so that the light receiving element of the communication light detector is fitted into the light extraction hole of the communication light visualization adapter 101.

通信光検知器は、通信光可視化アダプタ101を通じて取り出される漏洩光を受光して光通信路における通信状況を検知すると共にその結果を人間が目視確認できる形態で出力する。これにより、光通信路における通信状況の目視確認を目的として光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の可視化を実現することが可能となる。 The communication light detector receives the leaked light taken out through the communication light visualization adapter 101, detects the communication status in the optical communication path, and outputs the result in a form that can be visually confirmed by a human. This makes it possible to visualize the communication light transmitted through the optical communication path for the purpose of visually confirming the communication status in the optical communication path.

更に、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ101は、所定の配列(例えば、千鳥配列や並列配列)で整列してパネル102に実装されている。このとき、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ101を千鳥配列で整列してパネル102に実装することにより、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ101を並列配列で整列してパネル102に実装する場合と比較して通信光可視化アダプタ101の高密度実装を実現することが可能となる。 Further, the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are arranged in a predetermined arrangement (for example, a staggered arrangement or a parallel arrangement) and mounted on the panel 102. At this time, by arranging the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 in a staggered arrangement and mounting them on the panel 102, communication is performed as compared with the case where the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are arranged in a parallel arrangement and mounted on the panel 102. It is possible to realize high-density mounting of the optical visualization adapter 101.

即ち、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ101を並列配列とした場合は、通信光可視化アダプタ101とその隣の通信光可視化アダプタ101との間に距離を設ける必要があるが、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ101を千鳥配列とした場合は、通信光可視化アダプタ101とその隣の通信光可視化アダプタ101との間に距離を設ける必要が無く、通信光可視化アダプタ101の高密度実装を実現することができる。 That is, when a plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are arranged in parallel, it is necessary to provide a distance between the communication light visualization adapter 101 and the communication light visualization adapter 101 adjacent to the communication light visualization adapter 101, but the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 When is arranged in a staggered pattern, it is not necessary to provide a distance between the communication light visualization adapter 101 and the communication light visualization adapter 101 adjacent to the communication light visualization adapter 101, and high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter 101 can be realized.

複数のパネル102は、相互に別体として形成されている。これにより、複数のパネル102を容易に分離させたり組み立てたりすることができるため、メンテナンスや多段積層を容易に実現することが可能となる。図1,2では、2つのパネル102を上下二段に積層しているが、三段以上に積層しても構わない。また、複数のパネル102は、ラッチ103により組み立て可能に構成されている。 The plurality of panels 102 are formed as separate bodies from each other. As a result, the plurality of panels 102 can be easily separated and assembled, so that maintenance and multi-stage lamination can be easily realized. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the two panels 102 are laminated in two upper and lower stages, but they may be laminated in three or more stages. Further, the plurality of panels 102 are configured to be assembleable by the latch 103.

また、通信光可視化パッチパネル100は、パネル102を起立させる底面として機能すると共にパネル102から延在する配線が収容される配線用棚板104を更に備えている。配線用棚板104は、パネル102と一体的に形成されても良く、一枚の金属板材をプレス成形すること等によって製造することができる。配線用棚板104の前端105は、配線用棚板104に収容される配線が配線用棚板104から落ちないように折り曲げられている。 Further, the communication light visualization patch panel 100 further includes a wiring shelf board 104 that functions as a bottom surface for erecting the panel 102 and accommodates wiring extending from the panel 102. The wiring shelf plate 104 may be integrally formed with the panel 102, and can be manufactured by press-molding a single metal plate material or the like. The front end 105 of the wiring shelf board 104 is bent so that the wiring housed in the wiring shelf board 104 does not fall from the wiring shelf board 104.

なお、最下段の配線用棚板104は、後端106も折り曲げられており、その中央付近にパネル102が起立して設置されている。このとき、パネル102は、配線用棚板104の両側端から起立する側壁107にビス留め等により取り付けられる。側壁107には、通信光可視化パッチパネル100をサーバラック等に取り付けるためのフランジ108が設けられている。 The rear end 106 of the lowermost wiring shelf plate 104 is also bent, and the panel 102 is installed upright near the center thereof. At this time, the panel 102 is attached to the side wall 107 that stands up from both side ends of the wiring shelf plate 104 by screwing or the like. The side wall 107 is provided with a flange 108 for attaching the communication light visualization patch panel 100 to a server rack or the like.

また、配線用棚板104は、複数の貫通孔109を有しており、配線用棚板104に収容される配線を面ファスナーやインシュロックで固定できるようになっている。これにより、配線の位置ずれや作業者の手等が引っかかることによる配線の断線等を防止することが可能となる。 Further, the wiring shelf board 104 has a plurality of through holes 109, and the wiring accommodated in the wiring shelf board 104 can be fixed by a hook-and-loop fastener or an insulator. This makes it possible to prevent the wiring from being disconnected due to the misalignment of the wiring or the catching of the operator's hand or the like.

以上の通り、通信光可視化パッチパネル100によれば、複数のパネル102が複数段に亘って階段状に位置をずらして配置されているため、通信光可視化アダプタ101の嵌挿空間を確実に確保することが可能となる。そのため、本発明によれば、複数段に積層して配置することができ、通信光可視化アダプタ101の高密度実装を実現することが可能な通信光可視化パッチパネルを提供することができる。 As described above, according to the communication light visualization patch panel 100, since the plurality of panels 102 are arranged in a staircase pattern over a plurality of stages, the insertion space of the communication light visualization adapter 101 is surely secured. It becomes possible to do. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a communication light visualization patch panel that can be stacked and arranged in a plurality of stages and can realize high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter 101.
