摘要:
Provided is an optical fiber ribbon capable of achieving higher density and reduction in diameter and accurately placing optical fibers in V-shape grooves in a fusion machine without failure. The optical fiber ribbon 1 includes three or more of optical fibers 2 arranged in parallel and connecting portions 3 each connecting adjacent two optical fibers 2 together, the connecting portions 3 being intermittently provided in each of a ribbon longitudinal direction and a ribbon width direction. The optical fiber ribbon 1 has an outer diameter dimension of the optical fibers 2 which is set to smaller than or equal to 220 µm, and has a distance between the centers of the adjacent two optical fibers which is set to 250±30 µm.
摘要:
A method for batch fusion splicing of an optical fiber ribbon using a fusion machine (10), the method comprising: preparing the optical fiber ribbon (1) which includes: three or more of optical fibers (2) arranged in parallel and connecting portions (3) connecting adjacent two optical fibers (2) together, each of the optical fibers (2) having a bare glass optical fiber (6) covered by a cover layer (7, 8), the connecting portions (3) being intermittently provided in each of a ribbon longitudinal direction; removing the cover layers (7, 8) so as to obtain the bare glass optical fibers (6); and placing the respective bare glass optical fibers (6) on V-shaped grooves (9) in the fusion machine (10), wherein the V-shaped grooves (9) are arranged in parallel with a pitch of 250 µm, each outer diameter dimension of the optical fibers (2) is set to smaller than or equal to 220 µm, and each distance between centers of the adjacent two optical fibers (2) is set to 250 µm with a margin of plus or minus 30 µm by each of the connecting portions (3).

Provided is an optical fiber ribbon capable of concurrently ensuring mid-span access performance and cable production performance. The optical fiber ribbon 1 includes three or more optical fibers 2 arranged in parallel and connecting portions 3 connecting the adjacent optical fibers 2, the connecting portions 3 being formed intermittently in each of a ribbon longitudinal direction X and a ribbon width direction Y. The optical fiber ribbon 1 including the connecting portions 3 having split strength which is set in the range from 1.50 gf to 21.0 gf, contributes to exhibiting both the mid-span access performance and the cable production performance.
