When heated at 0°C, the protective seal 4 made of thermoplastic resin at the heated location 2j melted and formed a resin clump = I A, -j A, which blocked the inside of the metal tubular body i. . As a result, the gas pressure between the blocked parts increases, and in the worst case, the metal tubular body 1 ruptures, and in that case, the optical fiber 3
was sometimes broken. Furthermore, it was found that the transmission loss increased by about 1.02d13 130 minutes after heating started even though the optical fiber 3 did not break.

金属条を丸めて端部を重ね合せて作ったものでもよい。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. .

ある。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.

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.

Even if heated to 1" (:), the gases inside the metal tubular body, including the decomposed gas, are easily released to the outside through the 1"1 passage of the tubular body described in 1). The gas pressure of the optical fiber will not rise abnormally.Therefore, the metal tubular body will not rupture or the optical fiber will not break.Furthermore, according to the present invention, the increase in transmission loss of the optical fiber will be negligible. In addition, ((2) The optical fiber of the present invention using glass fiber as a protective coating is also shown in 7], -r) 1. In the case of using only glass fiber, l:I:

I、−、。Incidentally, the first invention of the present invention, which is a fire-resistant optical cable that does not have a protective coating on the outer periphery of the metal tubular body, is more likely to be used in combination with other power lines, etc., or by twisting a plurality of cables together. Furthermore, the second invention is suitable for a thick cable and a protective layer is provided on the outer periphery of the metal tubular body, and the second invention is suitable for use in cases where the protective layer is provided on the outer periphery of the metal tubular body. IC is suitable for use in many places, but is not limited to this usage.
