Abstract

PURPOSE:To make packing at a normal temperature or a relatively low heating temperature possible and to reduce volume contraction after packing by using materials having a water-holding property, namely, a water migration preventing or suppressing property. CONSTITUTION:Six optical fibers 12 are gathered around a tension member 11, and a retaining tape 13 is roughly wound around them at a proper tape pitch to form a 6-core optical fiber unit 1, and eight 6-core optical fiber units 1 are gathered around a tension member 2, and a water migration preventing material 5 is packed in the internal space of an obtained gathered body by press-charging. This body is enclosed with a water shielding layer 3, and a protective sheath layer 4 is formed on this layer 3 by the extrusion molding system. A material which has a water-holding property and 85-475 worked penetration at 25 deg.C is used as the water migration preventing material 5. A potassium, sodium, or calcium metallic soap grease is better as the water migration preventing material in respect to the water-holding property.

11 Background Art A water-shielding optical fiber cable is known in which the space formed between a large number of optical fibers and a water-shielding layer surrounding the fibers is filled with a water-running prevention material. The purpose of interposing the preventive material is mainly to prevent water that has entered through the damaged part from penetrating into the internal optical fiber section when a damaged part such as a hole is formed in the water-blocking layer, causing an adverse effect. The purpose is to prevent this from happening.

However, since the above-mentioned type is cooled after filling and solidifies at room temperature, it has the disadvantage that "C cracks occur due to volumetric contraction during the cooling process, resulting in a decrease in water running prevention performance. “C” due to volumetric contraction
There was a serious drawback that microbends occurred in the optical fiber. In addition, various inconveniences may occur in terminal processing such as connecting optical fiber cables, which require a high degree of precision because it is difficult to remove from the cable after solidification, and the work may be difficult due to poor bendability. It also had drawbacks such as poor handling over time.

1v Advantages of the Invention According to the present invention, since a water running prevention material with a special mixing consistency is used, it can be filled at a heating temperature that is not room temperature or a relatively low temperature, and there is no volumetric set after filling. or mild. Therefore, there are fewer micro-bends in the cable (optical fiber), and at the same time, no cracks occur in the water running prevention layer.As a result, the cable of the present invention has excellent optical transmission characteristics,
It has water-blocking properties. In addition, when processing the ends of the cape 7, since C is not assimilated at room temperature, it is easy to remove and replenish, and therefore the end processing work can be carried out with efficiency and efficiency. In addition, the cable can be easily bent due to its easy flow deformability under pressure.In addition, when the cable is bent, the water running prevention material interposed between the optical fibers (units) acts as a lubricant. It also has the effect of helping the smooth bending of individual optical fibers (units).

Furthermore, the anti-water running material has water-retaining properties, so even if the sheath layer etc. were cut off and water entered from the outside, the intruding water would be retained by the anti-water running material and the optical fiber inside. As a result, it is possible to provide a water-shielding optical fiber cape/l. with improved optical transmission characteristics, resistance to deterioration caused by water, and water-shielding properties.

Furthermore, regarding water retention, the water column loss was 187 μt1/lt. This evaluation of water retention f+lI+ was obtained by filling a glass tube with a water running prevention material so as to prevent the formation of voids, and making a cylindrical body of the prevention fence with a diameter of 80III11 and a length of 5 crn, and an inner diameter of 7.5 cm in the IL. A 1 m long glass tube (wall thickness IIIffl) was concentrically buried to a depth of 4° in the cylindrical body and fixed, and water was poured into the buried glass tube to form a water column with a length of 806 n. The test was carried out by measuring the amount of water leaking from the bottom of the cylindrical body and the water column after the cylindrical body was allowed to stand for 240 hours.

Eight 6-core optical fiber units (outer diameter 8.0 m) were formed by winding tapes at tape intervals of 1.2 m, and 7 pieces of piano wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm were twisted together to form a 6-core optical fiber unit (outer diameter 5.0 m) coated with °C polyethylene.
Each unit is 401 around the tension member of the 0 fin.
An aggregate having an outer diameter of 11 m+, which was obtained by winding the material continuously at a rate of 1 turn at a pitch of :rn, was passed through a tapered cylindrical body (at room temperature) having a large number of small holes with a diameter of 5 cm. The water running prevention material of Reference Example 10 is extruded from the small hole of this cylindrical body at a pressure of 1.0 kg/d, and as a result, the water running prevention material of Reference Example 10 is extruded between the units and each optical fiber of the assembly passing through this. Water running prevention material is press-fitted into the gap.
