[Prior Art] The amount of information has increased due to the rapid spread of the Internet, and the rapid development of information communication has continued. Recently, a large-capacity and two-way optical network is being constructed, and FTTH (Fiber To The Home) service is being implemented. The φ FTTI service directly connects communication providers to families through optical fibers to provide High-speed communication service. Accordingly, there is an increasing demand for fiber optic cables in a main fiber optic cable that is provided with a single core or a plurality of branch fiber optic cables for connecting the fiber optic cable introduced into the user's home. An example of the optical cable is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 7-128554. In the disclosed optical cable, a multi-core optical cable (main optical cable) and a low-hearted optical cable are combined with a tension member as a center, and the optical cable is bundled by a strap to realize integration. The length of the cable usually corresponds to the wiring span of 100 to 3 且 and at each connection point, a plurality of optical cables are connected via the junction box, thereby laying a plurality of light sights. In the junction box, the light of the heart is connected to the fiber of the main light mirror. However, in this cable, the cable of less care cannot be directly connected to the user to introduce the optical cable. Therefore, when connecting a cable with little heart and when a user introduces a fiber optic cable, it is necessary to take out the fiber core wire and connect the fiber. Therefore, branching operations take time. Further, it is necessary to mount the junction box for accommodating the light of the heart and the junction box of the optical fiber to the optical fiber cable, and therefore the installation space of the above-mentioned 1302I3.doc 200842421 junction box is required. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an optical cable which is easy to perform branch work in the field and which does not require a junction box.技术 The technical means for solving the problem is to provide the above-mentioned (four) 'the present invention provides an optical cable, which alternately comprises: (1) a line portion composed of a main optical cable and a branch optical cable, wherein the main optical cable houses a plurality of main line domains, and the branch (four)-body And disposed in the main aperture and containing the -root or a plurality of branch fibers; and (7) the branching portion, the desired pair of main fiber fibers in the pair of branch fibers and the plurality of main line fibers: the connection. In (4) of the present invention, it is preferable that the branch portion is covered by the shield. The shield may be any one of a heat shrinkable tube, a half sleeve formed of a plastic resin, and an outer sheath of a cable cut by an autonomous optical cable. Preferably, outside the branch portion: the outer diameter of the disk body is substantially equal, and a guide portion for guiding the I-branch cable is provided on the shield. The smashing of the shovel - the main cable, in addition to a plurality of main-line fibers, also includes a buffer material, and a cable covering the plurality of main-line fibers and the buffer material. In the branch portion, the fiber connecting portion may be accommodated in a space by compressing or cutting the cushioning material. It can also be buried in the outer sheath of the cable. The β tension can also be used on the outer t-branch cable of the * branch t.

A side view of the first embodiment. The light and branch portions 10 (10a, 10b, 10c, and 2 are cross-sectional views of the line portion 23 of the optical cable 24. The line portion 23 is composed of a branching light 6 that houses a plurality of optical fibers 3, the ^ cable 6 is integrated and installed in the main cable!, and contains one or a plurality of light: in the main light ^1 'multiple main line fiber 3 and the buffer material 4 at the same time the main light around 1 light · outer cover Covered by 2. The tension member 5 is embedded in the light-coated cover 2. In the branch cable 6, the branch fiber 7 and the tension member $ are simultaneously 130213.doc 200842421 covered by the cable cover 9. * A plurality of main-line fibers 3, for example, consisting of a belt-shaped core wire. When a plurality of four-core T-shaped core wires are formed to form a plurality of main-core fibers 3, the outer diameter of the main optical cable 1 is about 11 mm. In this case, the branch cable 6 is about 3.0 mm x 1.6 mm. The cable outer cover 2 and the cable outer cover 9 are formed, for example, of polyethylene resin, through a narrow joint portion and integrally formed. A fibrous material formed of polypropylene, which holds a plurality of main-line fibers 3 in a hollow interior of the outer covering 2 and protects The tension member 5 is, for example, a steel wire whose outer diameter is about 7 faces, and the tension member 8 is, for example, a steel wire having an outer diameter of about 4 mm. Further, according to the main optical cable The required specification may be an optical cable in which a plurality of main-line optical fibers 3 are accommodated without filling the cushioning material 4 in the outer cover, and the tension member 5 may not be provided. Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 respectively A side view and a cross-sectional view of a modification of the line portion in the cable 24. The cable 24 can also be an optical cable, #, which is fixed by the purple wire 22 I, and the branch light is 6 to make the main cable i Integration with the branching light can also be as follows: that is, the plurality of branching cables 6a to 6c are fixed to the main optical cable by the purple wire ^ to achieve integration. Fig. 5 is the branching portion 10 of the optical cable 24. A partial cross-sectional view of the branch portion (7) is alternately arranged with the line portion 23 at a specific interval. The outer cover 9 of the main gleam 1 and the outer cover 9 of the branch illuminator 6 are cut off at the branch portion 1 . The desired fiber and branch fiber 7 of the plurality of main-line fibers 3 are connected by fusion bonding or the like The optical fiber connection is realized. The branch portion 1 is protected by the shield. The sealing tape is wound around the joint surface of the shield 12 and the outer cover of the light mirror 130213.doc 200842421 to ensure waterproofness. When the optical fiber 3a and the branch optical fiber 7 are connected, the optical fiber = the protective portion of the connecting portion 113⁄4 to the optical fiber protective sleeve is protected. In the protective sleeve, a glass ceramic or steel wire is inserted as a reinforcing material. The length of the optical fiber protective sleeve It is usually 20 to 40 mm. The fiber protection sleeve with the reinforced material is not flexible. Therefore, when the cable is to be slightly bent, the fiber cannot be freely bowed, which may cause obstacles (such as fiber breakage). Therefore, it is preferable to use a shorter protective sleeve having a length of about 20 mm. When the main optical cable 1 is filled with the cushioning material 4, the space formed by compressing or cutting the cushioning material 4 can be used to accommodate the optical fiber connecting portion. Thereby, the optical fiber connecting portion 11 is protected from external forces such as compression or bending during the extending operation. In this case, the strong material in the fiber protection sleeve can also be omitted. Since the reinforcing material is not installed, when the optical cable is bent, the sleeve is softly bent, so that it is less likely to cause an obstacle. Further, it is preferable that the optical fiber connecting portion 11 is fixed to the tension member 5 or the cushioning material 4 by the band so that the optical fiber connecting portion 11 is not in the longitudinal direction due to the cable laying operation or the breeze vibration after the laying. mobile. The tension member 5 of the optical cable 2 embedded in the outer sheath 2 of the optical cable can be used as it is without being cut at the branch portion. Therefore, even if the inner peripheral member such as the outer sheath or the cushioning material of the optical cable is cut at the branch portion 10, the necessary tensile strength is not impaired. The shield 12 is, for example, a heat shrinkable tube. Since the heat-shrinkable tube shrinks with the size of the inner core, the increase in the outer diameter of the branch portion 10 can be minimized, so that the cable laying can be prevented. Further, if a heat-shrinkable tube having water repellency is used, the sealing tape 13 can be omitted. For example, if a double-layer structure is used and a heat shrinkage f of a secreted polyolefin resin is used for the inner layer material, the resin is heated by the Wengu, and the adhesion to the outer cover of the light can be ensured. The desired optical fiber 3& is taken out from the plurality of main-line optical fibers 3, and the optical fiber 3a is placed in a fusion splice machine or a mechanical connecting tool, whereby the optical fiber connection between the main optical cable 1 and the branch optical cable 6 is performed. Therefore, it is preferable to make the optical fiber 3_ in the main optical cable 1 in the blade portion 10 have slack (excess length) for the optical cable to pull out the optical fiber of the length necessary for the optical fiber connection work at the branch portion 10. Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 are partial cross-sectional views showing a modification of the branch portion of the optical cable 24. When the excess length is insufficient due to multiple failures in the fiber connection operation (Fig. 6), the length of the fiber core line is extended to replenish the length. In this case, the optical fiber bundle 4 for extending the connection is prepared, and the optical fiber connecting portion 11 is divided into two locations: the connection point mountain and the Ub. Further, when the optical fiber is connected, the excess length is excessive (Fig. 7), and the excess length is wound in the circumferential direction of the main optical cable. Fig. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of a connection form of a core wire of a main cable and a branch cable at the branch portion 1 of the optical cable 24. In Fig. 8, part (A) shows an example of a normal connection, and parts (B) and (c) respectively show an example of a reconnection. In the case of cross-connection, if a branch cable is not required for a certain portion, for example, the branch portion 10c performs a lower-feed connection (part (c)), whereby the downstream optical cable can be used for other purposes. Fig. 9 is a side view showing a second embodiment of the optical cable of the present invention. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the optical wiring of the optical subscriber system of the second embodiment. Figure 11 is a diagram showing the concept of a preferred embodiment of the optical cable of the second embodiment. 130213.doc -11 - 200842421. The optical connector 15 (Fig. 9) may be preliminarily attached to the front end of the branch cable 6 which protrudes outward from the branch portion 10 (10a, l〇b, l〇c, l〇d). In this case, the connector sleeve 20 can be used to connect the branch cable 6 to the drop cable 21 without contacting the optical fiber (Fig. 1A). Further, in the case where the optical connector 15 is previously provided in the branch light gliding 6, it is preferable to wind the protective sheet 16 to cover the optical connector 15 in advance (Fig. 1A). In this way, not only waterproofing but also the optical connector 15 can be prevented from being caught on the obstacle or the optical connector 15 from being damaged during the extension operation.
