製造方法を得ることができる。[Example] The present invention will be described below based on the illustrated example. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that the same parts as in the prior art are given the same reference numerals, and therefore their explanations will be omitted. In this embodiment, after the groove of the spacer 1 is filled with a waterproof compound using a compound filling device 4, the end fiber 2 is housed through the groove with a protrusion 3 passed through the groove filled with this compound. By doing this, the pressing force and tension are not applied to the optical fiber 2 as in the conventional case, and
It is possible to obtain a method for manufacturing a waterproof multi-core optical fiber cable in which the characteristics of the optical fiber 2 are not adversely affected and the reliability can be improved.
即ちまず、スペーサ１に防水コンパウンドをコンパウン
ド充填装置４により充填する。その後突起付目板３で不
要なコンパウンドを取り除く。That is, first, the spacer 1 is filled with a waterproof compound using the compound filling device 4 . After that, unnecessary compound is removed using a protruding batten 3.
般に突起の大きさは、光ファイバ２の断面積により決め

３を通る際光ファイバ２に少し付着する。この後、コン
パウンドが充填されているスペーサ１に光ファイバ２を
収納するのである。Generally, the size of the protrusion is determined by the cross-sectional area of the optical fiber 2. This compound slightly adheres to the optical fiber 2 when the optical fiber 2 passes through the projection plate 3. Thereafter, the optical fiber 2 is housed in the spacer 1 filled with the compound.
このように本実施例によれば防水コンパウンドを充填す

ファイバが外傷を受けない。As described above, according to this embodiment, since the waterproofing compound is filled in the absence of the optical fiber, the properties of the optical fiber are not adversely affected. Furthermore, when the optical fiber passes through the protruding batten, the compound acts like a lubricant and the optical fiber is not damaged.
