Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit easy post-branching by providing a surplus length forming part to an optical fiber core. CONSTITUTION:A tensile body is embedded in the major axis end of a flat- shaped sheath 3 and the optical fiber core 2 to be housed into the sheath 3 is provided with the arc-shaped surplus length forming part and is made into the structure to have the surplus length at the time of branching and connection. Since the tension during laying of the cable is supported by the tensile body 1, the arc-shaped surplus length forming part formed to the optical fiber core 2 is prevented from being elongated at the time of laying. If the need for the post-branching after the laying arises, the cable is cut at the required point and the inside optical fiber core 2 is drawn out to elongate the arc-shaped surplus length forming part to a straight shape. The surplus length required for the connection is thereby obtd. The easy post-branching requiring reconnection after the laying is thus permitted.

Conventional flat optical fiber cables have a structure in which optical fibers are arranged in parallel along a tensile strength member and coated with an outer jacket, so the length of the optical fibers is equal to the length of the cable. . For this reason, with conventional flat type optical 7-eye cables, if branching or connection is required after installation, it is extremely difficult to perform so-called post-branching, which involves cutting the cable midway and reconnecting it once it has been laid. The problem is that it is difficult.

The branching flat optical fiber cable of the present invention has one or more optical fibers having an extra length forming part formed in an arc shape, a sinusoidal curve shape, or a folded shape in a flat jacket in which a tensile strength member is embedded. Since the structure is to accommodate the fiber core, the excess length of the optical fiber core will not be stretched during installation, and if branching is required after installation, the cable must be unstretched. The extra length of the optical fiber coated wire 1@s that is cut at a point and stored is stretched and the C optical fiber coated wire is drawn out to obtain the extra length necessary for connection.

A specific example will be explained next. The structure shown in Figures 1a and b,
We prototyped an optical fiber cable in which the extra length forming part of the optical fiber core was arc-shaped. For optical fiber core wire with a diameter of 0.913φ,
An arc-shaped extra length forming part with a diameter of 1511φ is formed, and a tensile strength member with a diameter of 2ioiφ made of C1 steel wire or FRP is embedded in the major diameter end. The inner long axis is 16 mm and the inner minor axis is 4 mm. It was stored inside the outer jacket. The length of the optical fiber core housed in this prototype optical fiber cable IFM length was about 1.57°C. Therefore, in this prototype example, the optical fiber core wire drawn out from the 1 m long optical fiber cable has an extra length of about 57 tx.

As explained above, the branching optical fiber cable of the present invention has an arcuate, sinusoidal, or folded extra length forming part in a flat jacket in which a tensile strength member is embedded, and a running optical fiber core. One or more bottles can be stored in Kugi-zukuri 6
Therefore, by supporting the tension during cable installation with a tensile strength member, it does not have the effect of stretching the excess length of the optical fiber core, and branching can be performed after the cable is laid, which requires reconnection. In some cases, it is possible to obtain the necessary extra length for connecting optical fiber core wires. For example, in under-carpet wiring in an office, wiring cables can be used when the number and arrangement of equipment to be connected is determined. It is effective when applied to
