Abstract
Description
本出願は、2020年12月25日出願の日本出願第2020-217223号に基づく優先権を主張し、前記日本出願に記載された全ての記載内容を援用するものである。
近年、ケーブルの伝送容量を増やすべく、1本の光ファイバケーブル当たりの光ファイバのコア数が100以上、あるいは1000以上である超多心ケーブルの需要が高まっている。このような超多心ケーブルは、特許文献1の光ケーブル牽引具で牽引される場合、次のような課題を有する。
まず本開示の実施態様を列記して説明する。
(1)本開示の一態様に係るコネクタ付きケーブルは、複数のマルチコア光ファイバと、前記複数のマルチコア光ファイバの一端に取り付けられた、複数のコネクタと、を備える。
本態様によれば、複数のマルチコア光ファイバを高密度に実装したコネクタ付きケーブルを実現することができる。なお、コネクタ付きケーブルが単心光ファイバを備える場合、一般的な多心コネクタにおいて2コア/mm2以上のコア数密度を実現するには、コネクタ付きケーブルは36本の光ファイバを一括して接続する多心コネクタを備える必要がある。しかしながら36本の光ファイバを一括して接続する多心コネクタは一般的に高額であり、穴の成形精度を担保することも困難である。本開示のコネクタ付きケーブルが含む光ファイバ心線はマルチコア光ファイバであるため、36本の光ファイバを一括して接続する多心コネクタを用いることなく、2コア/mm2以上のコア数密度を実現することができる。
本態様によれば、コネクタ付きケーブルの長手方向において一箇所に複数のコネクタが配置されることはない。したがって、光ファイバ牽引具の太径化を防ぐことができる。
本態様によれば、コネクタの数を低減でき、収容部の大径化及び長尺化を防ぐことができる。また、コネクタ付きケーブルの外径及び外被把持部も細径化することができる。以上より、収容部及び外被把持部を小型化した光ファイバ牽引具を備えたコネクタ付きケーブルを実現することができる。
本態様によれば、収容部が収容するコネクタの数を低減することができ、収容部の内径の最大値IDMAXを小さくすることができる。またケーブル内のコア総数Nを大きくすることができる。以上より本態様は、(IDMAX/2)2×π/N<0.25[mm2]の関係を満たす、小型化した光ファイバ牽引具を備えたコネクタ付きケーブルを実現することができる。
本態様によれば、収容部を小型化した光ファイバ牽引具を備えたコネクタ付きケーブルを実現することができる。
本態様によれば、収容部が収容するコネクタの数を低減することができ、収容部の長さLを小さくすることができる。またケーブル内のコア総数Nを大きくすることができる。以上より本態様は、L/N<0.4[mm]の関係を満たす、小型化した光ファイバ牽引具を備えたコネクタ付きケーブルを実現することができる。仮にコネクタ付きケーブルに単心光ファイバを用いた場合、マルチコア光ファイバを用いた場合と比較して、収容部の長さLは3倍以上長くなってしまう。またコネクタ付きケーブルに単心光ファイバを用いた場合、コネクタの数を減らして収容部の長さLを小さくするためには、コネクタ付きケーブルのコネクタとして144本や36本の光ファイバを一括して接続する多心コネクタなどの高価なコネクタを用意する必要がある。しかしながらこれら多心コネクタは一般的に高額であり、穴の成形精度を担保することも困難である。本態様によれば、高価な多心コネクタを用いることなく、L/N<0.4[mm]の関係を満たすことができる。
本態様によれば、第一収容部においてマルチコア光ファイバの余長を調整することができる。
本態様のコネクタ付きケーブルは、他のコネクタとの接続作業が容易となる。また一つ一つの多心コネクタを他のコネクタと接続する場合と比べ、接続作業の回数も低減することができる。
本態様のコネクタ付きケーブルは、コネクタ付きケーブルの長手方向において一箇所に複数の多連コネクタが配置されることはない。したがって、光ファイバ牽引具の太径化を防ぐことができる。
