Description
Fibreoptic cable holder, method for installing a fibreoptic cable into a wall, and method for extending the installed fibreoptic cable into a dwelling The invention relates to a fibreoptic cable holder, a method for installing a fibreoptic cable into a wall, and a method for extending the installed fibreoptic cable into a dwelling.
Presently, fibreoptic communication networks are being expanded across many countries. More and more homes and businesses wish to have access to a fibreoptic communication network which allows them previously unmatched internet speeds. In order to connect a home to a fibreoptic communication network an appointment is made with the resident of the home for a moment of installation. During such an installation a hole is usually drilled into the wall of the home of the resident. A fibreoptic cable is inserted through the hole into the home. In such a case the resident provides access to the home for completing the installation from the inside. However, it frequently occurs that the resident is not home despite having made an appointment. Since the resident is not home to provide access for the completion of the installation the installation is generally not performed at all. Often times the appointment is rescheduled instead. The problem is exacerbated when considering apartment buildings.
Usually the installation in a home within an apartment building requires the use of aerial platform and four mechanics for controlling the platform and completing an installation. These platforms are usually rented. It may occur that on a given day four out of ten homes of an apartment building require rescheduling. In apartment buildings in particular the issue may arise that at any given moment only some of the residents wish to change to fibreoptic communication. Other residents may gradually, over time, also wish to change to fibreoptic communication. As a result the aerial platform as well as installation personnel are required to return multiple times until all installations are completed.
Given the above there exists a desire to at least
- 2 — partially complete the installation of a fibreoptic cable to a dwelling in the absence of a resident such that the installation can be completed at a later moment with minimal further expenses. There also exists a desire to provide means which allow a fibreoptic cable to be partially installed to the same outcome as mentioned above.
Accordingly, there is provided according to a first aspect of the present invention a cable holder for mounting an end of a fibreoptic cable into a wall. The holder comprises a substantially cylindrical sleeve arranged for being placed within a wall, and defining a central axis. The holder further comprises a cap arranged for being reversibly fastenable to a first end of the sleeve. The cap comprises a cable through hole for allowing the end of the fibreoptic cable to be inserted therethrough into the sleeve. The first end of the sleeve is crenelated to define a plurality of fins. The plurality of fins are designed for being reversibly deflected inward toward the central axis by a push surface of the cap during the fastening of the cap to the sleeve for frictionally fixing the cable to the sleeve. The sleeve is arranged for being detected through its response to an interrogation field, such as a time-varying magnetic field. This cable holder beneficially allows first instance installation personnel to drill an elongated pocket into a wall of a dwelling and install the cable into the wall. The holder even beneficially allows the cable to be found in the wall when the full installation of the fibreoptic cable is completed later. By using the holder in preinstallation it is estimated that as much as 1,500 euros can be saved per completed installation assignment to all homes of an apartment building. The invention saves on labour hours, planning costs and material costs such as aerial platforms. Also in the event of installation to a dwelling that is not in an apartment building the invention at least saves on planning costs. A further benefit is that the holder is reusable.
Optionally, the interrogation field is a time-varying magnetic field. The sleeve is arranged for magnetically coupling with the interrogation field under a substantial alignment of the direction of the interrogation field and
- 3 = central axis of the sleeve for the detection thereof. This beneficially renders the cable detectable within the wall allowing a returning installer to find the cable inside of the wall with ease, such as by means of a metal detector.
Optionally, the sleeve 1s made entirely of stainless steel, preferably a ferritic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel or martensitic stainless steel. This allows it to be durable and simultaneously allows its magnetic signature to be differentiable from steel barbs or copper electric cables. In other words, the material choice expedites finding the cable in the wall from the inside of the house. Optionally, the sleeve comprises an outer surface that is partially threaded, and wherein the cap comprises a threaded inner surface arranged for cooperating with the threaded part of the outer surface of the sleeve for allowing the cap to be rotatably reversibly fastened to the sleeve. This beneficially allows the fins to be gradually tightened against a cable, preventing damage to the cable. Optionally and/or additionally the sleeve comprises a flange extending radially outward from the outer surface defining an abutment surface for an edge of the cap. This beneficially prevents the cap from being tightened such that the cable is damaged by the fins. Optionally, each fin of the plurality of fins comprises a curved distal end for cooperating with the push surface of the cap for being reversibly deflected. That is to say, each fin comprises an outer surface that is gradually curved inward to the central axis towards its distal end. According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided herein a method for installing a fibreoptic cable into a wall of a dwelling comprising the step of providing a fibreoptic cable. The method further comprises the step of providing the cable holder according to any embodiment according to the first aspect of the invention. The method also comprises the step of inserting an end of the fibreoptic cable through the through hole of the cap into the sleeve. The method comprises the step of frictionally fixing the cable to the sleeve by fastening the cap to the sleeve. Additionally, the method comprises the step of providing an elongated pocket
- 4 - to the wall extending from an outer surface of the wall to below an inner surface of the wall. An inner diameter of the pocket is greater or equal to a greatest outer diameter of the holder. The greatest outer diameter of the holder may be determined by the flange. The method further also comprises the step of inserting the holder into the elongated pocket.
This completes the instalment of the cable in the wall.
Optionally, the method comprises the step of installing a fixture to the outer surface of the wall. The fixture comprises a through hole. The through hole can be aligned with the elongated pocket and sized such that the step of inserting the holder into the elongated pocket comprises extending the holder through the through hole. The method may further also comprise the step of mounting a cover to the fixture such the cover prevents the inserted holder from moving out of the pocket in a direction opposite the direction of insertion. The cover beneficially protects the assembly against sliding out of the wall and against the environment Optionally, the elongated pocket is provided such that it extends substantially perpendicular to the inner surface of the wall such that the inserted sleeve also extends substantially perpendicular to the inner surface. This allows it to be easily and differentiably detectable under an interrogation field that also substantially perpendicular to the inner surface of the wall. This beneficially increases the findability of the holder in the wall.
According to a third aspect of the invention there is provided a method for extending the fibreoptic cable into the dwelling after being installed into a wall according the second aspect of the invention. This method is thus a finalization method. That is to say, this is the installation method that is used once the pre-installation has occurred. This method comprises the step of detecting the sleeve within the elongated pocket by the interrogation field of a metal detector. The method further comprises the step of providing a wall through hole from the inner surface of the wall to the elongated pocket. Also the method comprises the step of pulling the cable holder and cable from out of the elongated pocket through the wall through hole into a room of the
- 5 — dwelling.
Optionally the method also comprises the steps of unfastening the cap from the sleeve, removing the sleeve from the cable, removing the cap {from the cable, and lastly connecting the fibreoptic cable to a modem.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated by the figures.
In the drawing: — Figure 1 shows simultaneously a side view of the sleeve of the holder and a perspective view of the cap of the holder; — Figure 2 shows an assembly of the holder and the cable; — Figure 3 shows a sketch of the assembly installed in an elongated pocket in a wall; — Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the assembly outside of the wall; — Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the assembly partially inside of the elongated pocket in the wall; — Figure 6 shows a cross sectional view of the wall, wherein the assembly is inside of the elongated pocket in the wall; — Figure 7 shows a perspective view of the inner surface of the wall being scanned by a metal detector; — Figure 8 shows a perspective view of the inner surface of the wall being drilled by a drill; — Figure 9 shows a perspective view of the inner surface of the wall, wherein the assembly is pulled through a through hole in the inner wall; — Figure 10 shows the disassembly of the holder; — Figure 11 shows the further disassembly of the holder; — Figure 12 the modem, cable and wall; Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same parts.
Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the cable holder 1 and all its components. The cable holder consists of a substantially cylindrical sleeve 9 and a cap 11. The sleeve is made of stainless steel and has an outer diameter of 10 mm and an inner diameter of 6.2 mm. The total length of the sleeve is in this example 10 cm. The cap is in this example 5 cm. In
- 6 — use, the cap and holder are connected such that the holder is substantially also 10 cm.
The invention is not limited to any of these sizes.
The cap 11 can be seen to have a through hole 14 which can in Figure 2 be seen to allow an end 3 of a fibreoptic cable 5 to extend therethrough into the sleeve.
The sleeve can be seen to have an outer surface 17 that is partially threaded, and the cap has a threaded inner surface 19 arranged for cooperating with the threaded part of the outer surface 17 of the sleeve for allowing the cap to be rotatably reversibly fastened to the sleeve.
The fastening of the cap and sleeve can however be exploited to frictionally fix the part of the cable, that extends into the sleeve, to said sleeve.
Specifically, the first end 13 of the sleeve 9 is crenelated to define a plurality of fins 15. The sleeve is also shown as having a central axis A.
The plurality of fins are designed for being reversibly deflected inward toward said central axis A by a push surface 26 of the cap during the fastening of the cap to the sleeve for frictionally fixing the cable to the sleeve.
In other words, by screwing the cap onto the sleeve the fins are deflected inward as the cap pushes onto the distal end 27 of the fins.
Optionally, these fins are curved or slightly angled with respect to the central axis A.
Each fin of the plurality of fins 15 may more specifically have a curved distal end 27 for cooperating with the push surface 26 of the cap for being reversibly deflected.
The fins are thus not permanently bent.
The fins press onto the cable and prevent it from slipping out of the sleeve.
The sleeve can further also be seen to have a flange 21 that extends radially outward from the outer surface 17 defining an abutment surface 22 for an edge 23 of the cap.
This prevents the cap from being tightened onto the sleeve to a point wherein the fins can damage the cable.
By being connected the holder 1 and cable 5 are assembled into an assembly 100. The fins may be designed such that a force with which the fins resist deflecting does not exceed a for with which a normal person is able to twist the cap for screwing it onto the sleeve.
The fins may be of a stainless steel and have a thickness between 0.3-2.5 mm, in particular 0.5-1.5 mm.
This choice of material and thickness beneficially allows the fins
- 7 = to deflect inward without substantially interfering with a user’s ability to screw the cap onto the sleeve. The sleeve is further also arranged {for being detected through its response to an interrogation field F in this example a time-varying magnetic field emitted by a metal detector M. Usually, the presence of an object is detected through a change in impedance of an electric circuit (not shown, but customary) to which a coil C, of the detector M, emitting the time-varying magnetic field is a part. In this example the fact that the sleeve is made out of stainless steel such as a ferritic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel or martensitic stainless steel allows it to magnetically couple with the time-varying magnetic field. That is to say, the time-varying magnetic field induces electrical Eddy currents {not shown, but customary) known as Foucault's currents in the metal sleeve. These Eddy current in tum generate a response field R. In Figure 3 it can be seen that the sleeve may be provided in the wall 51 in such a way that the central axis A is substantially perpendicular to an inner surface 59 of the wall. That is to say between 80-90 degrees with respect to the wall surface. This allows the sleeve to be easily detected by a metal detector and differentiated from other metal elements such as steel barbs and electrical wiring. As can be seen from Figure 3, a metal detector must be moved along the surface of a wall. That is to say, the wall is scanned by moving the scanner in a plane that is perpendicular to the central axis A. Orienting the sleeve such that it too is perpendicular to the wall may ease its detection. In other words, the alignment of the interrogation field F and the central axis A allows the sleeve to be maximally magnetically coupled with the interrogation field thus easing its detection.
Hereinafter a method of pre-installation is discussed. In this method the fibreoptic cable 5 is installed into the wall 51. This wall is a wall of a dwelling such as an apartment building. The method consists of providing the fibreoptic cable 5, providing the cable holder, and inserting an end 3 of the fibreoptic cable 5 through the through hole 14 of the cap 11 into the sleeve 9. Subsequently the method
- 8 - includes frictionally fixing the cable to the sleeve by fastening the cap to the sleeve. A fixture 61 may be installed to the outer surface 57 of the wall 51. In this example the fixture is a mount or slat which can be connected to the wall by bolts, screws or other connectors. The fixture has a through hole 63.
Figure 4 shows that the method also includes providing an elongated pocket 50 to the wall extending from an outer surface 57 of the wall 51 to below an inner surface 59 of the wall 51. Thus not extending all the way through the wall. This elongated pocket can be a cylindrical channel drilled into the wall. The fixture may be installed such that the through hole 63 of the fixture is aligned with the elongated pocket. The through hole may be pre-provided to the fixture or it may be drilled out along with the elongated pocket by a single drilling action. The elongated pocket is provided, that is to say drilled, in such a way that the inner diameter of the pocket D1 is greater or equal to a greatest outer diameter D2 of the holder. This can be seen from Figure
6. The method further includes the step of inserting the holder, along with the end 3 of the cable, into the elongated pocket 50. The elongated pocket 50 is provided such that it extends substantially perpendicular to the inner surface 59 of the wall such that the inserted holder also extends substantially perpendicular to the inner surface 59. Figure 6 also shows that a cover 65 can be mounted to the fixture 61. The cover may be connected to fixture and slid from an elevated position on the fixture as shown in Figure 5 down into a covering position shown in Figure 6 such that the cover prevents the inserted holder from moving out of the pocket 50 in a direction opposite the direction of insertion I.
Hereinafter a further method for finalizing the fibreoptic installation after the pre-installation is discussed.
Figure 7 shows that this further method comprises the step of detecting the sleeve within the elongated pocket by the interrogation field of a metal detector 71. Figure 7 is reflective of the situation shown in Figure 3.
Figure 8 shows that this further method also
- 9 - comprises providing a wall through hole 67 from the inner surface 57 of the wall 51 to the elongated pocket 50. Figure 8 shows that to this end a drill 200 may be used for drilling the wall through hole 67. A second end of the sleeve is therefor provided as a closed end such that the cable is not grazed or potentially damaged by the drill making contact with the holder.
Figure 9 shows the further method also comprises pulling the cable holder and cable from out of the elongated pocket through the wall through hole 67 into a room of the dwelling. Optionally, also separate from any method and embodiment a second end of the sleeve may be closed and provided as ferromagnetic. This beneficially allows the holder to be retrieved from the wall through the wall through hole by magnetically coupling the holder to a magnetic stick pull it out of the wall. Alternatively, the sleeve may be provided with a connector at its second end, such as a hook, such that it can be gripped thereby and pulled through from the wall through the wall through hole. In yet another alternative the holder is simply wedged out of the hole with any number of tools, such as a screwdriver.
Figure 10 shows that the method may include the unfastening the cap from the sleeve and the removing of the sleeve from the cable.
Figure 11 shows that the method may further also include removing the cap from the cable.
Figure 12 shows that the method may lastly include connecting the fibreoptic cable to a modem 101.
