Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an optical transmission wire having excellent functions of retaining shapes such as spiral or waveform shapes and stretchability. CONSTITUTION:This wire is made into the laminar structure wherein a primary coating layer 3a consisting of silicone rubber, etc., a cusion layer 3b consisting of silicone rubber, etc. having better elasticity than the layer 3a, and a secondary coating layer 3c consisting of nylon, etc. are provided successively on the outside circumference of an optical fiber 2. A shape holding layer 4 consists of a fiber reinforced thermosetting resin prepd. by impregnating fibers 4a consisting of glass fibers or polyamide fibers with a thermosetting resin 4b consisting of epoxy resin or polyester resin and is spirally bent and set, whereby the shape thereof is maintained. When such optical transmission wire 1 is applied with tension, the pitches of spirals are stretched but no tension is exerted upon the fiber 2 until the spirals are stretched fully, whereby the breakage of the fiber 2 is prevented.
