Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a fire-proof optical cable which has superior fire-proof characteristics and is handled easily by storing an optical fiber core which has a protection coating in a metallic pipe which has through holes for emitting internal gas when heated. CONSTITUTION:The metallic tubular body 1 has plural through holes 10 for emitting internal gas in the pipe wall. Then, the optical fiber core 2 formed by covering an optical fiber 3 with a protection coating 4 made of glass fiber reinforced thermosetting resin is stored in the metallic tubular body 1, and a protection layer made of resin which does not impede the emission of the gas is preferably provided to the outer circumference of the metallic tubular body 1 to obtain the target fire-proof cable. Even when this fire-proof cable is heated at about 840 deg.C, the cracked gas, etc., in the metallic tubular body 1 are emitted out easily through the through holes 10, so the optical fiber 3 never break owing to an abnormal increase in the gas pressure in the metallic tubular body 1.

FIG. 2 is a multi-day drawing of an embodiment of the first invention of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the fireproof light cape/L of the first invention is
A protective coating 4 made of glass fiber-reinforced thermosetting resin is attached to an optical fiber 3 inside a metal tubular body 1 having a plurality of through holes 10 for discharging internal gas IQ'r passing through the inner and outer surfaces of the tube wall.
The metal tubular body 1 has a plurality of j'J through holes 1 in advance.
It may be formed by forming a metal strip having an angle into a tubular shape and welding the seams, or it may not be welded. However, it is preferable to weld the metal tubular body 1 to the metal tubular body 1 (if construction strength is required).Also, it may be made by simply rolling the metal strip having the through hole 10 and overlapping the ends. .

In addition, if the joints of metal strips are not welded, or if the ends are simply overlapped, internal gas can be released to the outside from the joints or overlapped parts. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the through hole 10 shown in FIG. Needless to say, in this case, the seams or bristles must not be glued together. Further, when the metal tubular body 1 is corrugated, its flexibility increases by -4, which is advantageous when wiring this fireproof optical cable or twisting a plurality of cables together to form a thick cable.

In addition, the protective cover of 9-Noaiba 3 is 4+, and the heat-resistant resin such as INOJ-Ron is 840 '' (IF heated, Multi: Generate IW gas for I knee.
The internal gas pressure of the shaped body 1 is easy to rise. Therefore, as explained in FIG.
1. Even under high temperatures, it has a great effect on all crops. The second protective coating 4 contains a large amount of glass fiber lamp 1, and has a relatively small amount of resin that generates decomposition gas. It is preferable because it is thin and requires less internal gas pressure. Also, as the material of the metal tubular body 10, iron-based materials such as stainless steel are preferable because they have excellent heat control properties.
