In recent years, the scope of application of optical fiber has become extremely wide, and in addition to its application to general communications, it has also come to be applied to electrical equipment. Examples of such electrical equipment include switches, transformers, and electrical equipment related to DC power transmission. In such devices, optical fibers are used to convert optical signals or electrical energy into light, introduce it, and extract it. In addition, in such equipment, sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) gas is generally used to maintain insulation properties, cooling, arc extinguishing, etc. inside the equipment, and this SF 6 gas is generally used at a pressure above atmospheric pressure and below 6 kg/cm. It is sealed under constant pressure. If the enclosed SF 6 gas leaks from the terminal board used in such electrical equipment, it is unacceptable because it will render the equipment itself unusable.

There are various types of optical fibers depending on their configuration, but the optical fiber used in the present invention is, for example, a single filament with a diameter of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, usually 0.2 to 0.3 mm, coated with a protective coating (hereinafter referred to as a single type optical fiber). ). The filament of the above-mentioned single-type optical fiber is usually provided with a cladding layer such as quartz, multicomponent glass, silicone resin, etc. around the core wire, and around the filament there is, for example, an inner coating layer of nylon, an intermediate layer of fiber material, and a cladding layer of, for example, polyethylene or polychloride. It has a protective coating consisting of the outermost vinyl coating layer in this order. It should be noted that other configurations of these protective coatings are well known and need not be described in detail here.

In such a terminal board, an airtight seal of the attachment part of the terminal board itself to the device opening can be achieved by conventional means, but optical fiber cannot be said to be completely airtight due to its structure, and the high-pressure SF 6 gas inside the device may be exposed to light. The fiber had the disadvantage of leaking through the microscopic microscopic voids in the interlayer of the fiber material.

In order to eliminate the defects of the optical fiber penetrating terminal plate due to the structure of the optical fiber described above, the present inventors have proposed that the outermost layer, for example made of polyethylene, of the protective coating of the single type optical fiber located in the terminal plate be removed. The above-mentioned microscopic voids are created by removing a portion of the fiber material to expose the intermediate layer of the fiber material, impregnating this portion with a low-viscosity epoxy resin adhesive, and curing it.
It has been found that it is possible to seal and maintain airtight sealing properties. However, when impregnating and curing the epoxy resin adhesive, the epoxy resin adhesive does not stop its impregnation at the interface of the remaining protective coating, and the epoxy resin adhesive does not stop its impregnation at the interface of the remaining protective coating, and the epoxy resin adhesive does not stop impregnating the adhesive between the remaining parts of the outermost layer of the protective coating. It also permeates. It has been found that this reduces the strength of the single type optical fiber, resulting in optical loss, and that it may break if external stress is applied. For this reason, the present inventors crimped and fixed a metal sleeve to each remaining end of a single optical fiber whose outermost protective coating had been removed, thereby preventing penetration of the epoxy resin adhesive.
It has also been found that the above drawbacks can be prevented.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an epoxy resin cast terminal board through which a necessary number of single type optical fibers 2 (three in the illustrated example) pass through. The single optical fiber 2 has a protective coating consisting of an outermost layer 3 made of polyethylene, for example, an intermediate layer 4 made of polyamide fiber material, for example, and an inner layer 5 made of nylon, for example. In the present invention, a part of the outermost layer 3 of the single type optical fiber 2 located in the terminal plate 1 is used to prevent leakage of SF 6 gas in electrical equipment from the microscopic voids in the fiber material intermediate layer 4. is removed to expose the fiber material intermediate layer 4, which is impregnated with an epoxy resin adhesive and cured.
At this time, it was impossible to prevent the epoxy resin adhesive from penetrating into the protective coating from the interface 6 of the protective coating remaining without being removed in the outermost layer 3. This caused the various problems mentioned above. In the present invention, in order to prevent such penetration of the epoxy resin adhesive, a metal sleeve 7 is crimped and fixed as close as possible to the interface 6 of the outermost layer 3 of the protective coating. 8
is an O-ring groove, and an O-ring is inserted here to form an airtight seal when attaching the terminal plate 1 to the main body of the device. Reference numeral 9 denotes a mounting hole into which a mounting tool (not shown) for mounting the terminal plate 1 to the main body of the device can be inserted.
