The present invention relates to a pipe cable in which a plurality of pipes made of polyethylene tubes are assembled and covered with a jacket, and a method for manufacturing the same.

効である。As a method of laying an optical fiber cable, an optical fiber unit formed by applying a coating layer such as a foam coating layer to a single-core or multi-core optical fiber is connected to a single or multiple polyethylene tube (hereinafter referred to as PE tube). There is a method in which a pressurized gas such as air is fed and housed in a so-called pipe cable consisting of a tube (for example, JP-A-59-104607@). This pressurized gas pumping method is used to install optical fiber cables, and during installation, no external force such as tension is applied to the optical fibers, so there is no damage to the optical fibers. This makes it possible to install optical fibers along complicated routes, as well as to replace optical fibers after installation and to install additional optical fibers, which is effective in facilitating maintenance and reducing installation costs.

This is an example in which a 7-tube pipe cable is assembled by applying an AP sheath (laminated aluminum polyethylene sheath) 1 to its outer periphery.

A pipe cable in which a plurality of pipes made of PE tubes are assembled and coated, characterized in that the P'E tubes forming the pipes have a residual strain of 1% or less during molding.

This method is characterized by a step of applying a LAP sheath to the outer periphery of a plurality of PE tubes.

施例について説明する。Since the pipe cable according to the present invention has a residual strain of 1% or less during molding of the PE tube used, it is suitable for long-term use under normal temperature environments, that is, in the temperature range of -40°C to 80°C. In this case, since the amount of contraction of the PE tube is small, the pulling phenomenon of the PE tube near the end of the pipe cable explained in the schematic diagram of Fig. 3 is reduced, and therefore the inside of the PE tube of the stored optical fiber unit is reduced. This suppresses the drastic increase in slack that occurs in the cable, that is, the increase in excess length, resulting in an optical cable that is highly reliable in practice after installation. Examples will be described below based on the drawings.

As with the E-tube, by applying heat treatment after crosslinking treatment, residual strain during molding can be achieved at a level of 1% or less. Moreover, by increasing the degree of crosslinking, that is, by increasing the gel fraction, it was possible to further reduce the heat shrinkage rate. Furthermore, the amount of retraction of the PE tube at the end of the pipe cable made using these PE tubes has a strong correlation with the heat shrinkage rate of the PE tube used, and the heat shrinkage rate of the PE tube was suppressed to 1% or less. P.E.
The length of the pipe cable using a tube is 50mm.
It is possible to obtain a pipe cable that is stable for long-term use and has high reliability.

It is clear that the present invention can also be applied to a method of manufacturing a pipe cable having a structure in which a tensile strength member is arranged in the vicinity of a PE tube assembly core.

As explained above, the pipe cable according to the present invention has a sample length of 20 m.
Since the residual strain of the PE tube used during molding is 1% or less, the amount of shrinkage of the PE tube can be reduced for long-term use under actual conditions in the temperature range of -40°C to 80°C. This reduces the pull-in phenomenon of the PE tube at the terminal end, and improves the stability of the pipe cable terminal processing section, which reduces the impact on the stored optical fiber unit, that is, the deterioration of transmission characteristics due to increased excess length. It is effective to reduce the noise level and ensure high reliability by applying the present invention to pneumatically installed optical fiber cables.
