- the heat cycle test from 130 ° C to 80 ° C was repeated three times with a length of 100 mm, and the adhesion between the coating layer 5 b of the coated tensile member 6 b and the FRP tensile member 4 b was observed.
- shrinkage of the coating layer hardly occurred, showing good results.
- a supporting wire 7b one blue steel single wire of ⁇ 1.2 mm, two coated tensile strength members 6b obtained in the specific example 1, and an optical fiber core wire 2b of ⁇ 0. 25 Introduce one 5 mm single-mode fiber to the cross head, and use flame-retardant PE (Nippon Manufactured by: NUC9739), extruded and coated with a die having the shape as shown in Fig. 7, immediately performed primary cooling in a hot water cooling bath adjusted to 6 ° C, and then Secondary cooling was performed in a water cooling tank to obtain a drop cable 1b having a cross-sectional structure as shown in FIG.
- PE flame-retardant PE
- This coated tensile strength material has a reinforcing fiber content of 58.9 V in the FRP section.
- the minimum bending diameter (the loop diameter immediately before the bending failure occurred when the coated tensile strength member was formed into a loop and bent so as to reduce the loop) was 8 mm. Comparative Example 6
- This coated tensile strength material has a reinforcing fiber content of 55.8 VOL% in the FRP part, and has a minimum bending diameter (by forming the coated tensile strength material into a loop and bending the loop to make the loop smaller, The loop diameter just before the bubbling occurred was 10.5 mm.
- the required tensile strength and anti-compression property are reduced. It is possible to obtain an FRP tensile strength material with a small bending radius without any bending, and by using this FRP tensile strength material, it is possible to obtain a drop optical fiber cable with excellent layability. You.
- the tensile strength members made of FRP have a technical problem that they are easily broken with a large bending diameter as compared with those made of metal.
- the FRP diameter may be reduced to reduce the bending diameter at which the tensile strength is reduced.
- the reinforcing fibers are the same, the tensile strength decreases.
- the improvement in tensile strength alone can be solved by replacing the reinforcing fiber with a high-strength, high-elasticity type.
- the function of suppressing the shrinkage of the resin that constitutes the main body due to changes in environmental temperature (anti-shrinkage) ) Is also required, so as a means of reducing the contact area with the main body resin (making the anti-shrinkage function difficult to function), it is not preferable to reduce the diameter.
- an FRP tensile strength body having a small size and the FRP tensile strength body according to the present invention can sufficiently respond to such a demand.
- the FRP tensile strength member of the present invention it is possible to obtain an FRP tensile strength member having a small bending radius without lowering the required tensile strength and compression resistance. As a result, a drop optical fiber with excellent layability can be obtained, and can be effectively used when laying in a subscriber's house.
