Abstract:
An inspection device of an optical fiber unit, including a plurality of binding materials wound in an SZ shape on a plurality of optical fibers, includes: a measurement sensor that measures a width of the optical fiber units in a first direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction in which the optical fiber unit extends; and a determination circuit that determines a presence or an absence of an abnormality in a binding state, based on a measurement result of the measurement sensor.
Abstract:
An optical cable includes: an optical fiber unit where a plurality of optical fibers are wrapped with a wrapping tape; at least three tensile strength members disposed in parallel with and on an outer side of the optical fiber unit at intervals in a circumferential direction; and a sheath that coats the optical fiber unit and the tensile strength members and that is disposed between the optical fiber unit and the tensile strength members. An inner wall surface of the sheath formed between the optical fiber unit and the tensile strength members protrudes toward a cable center in comparison with an inner wall surface of the sheath where none of the tensile strength members are disposed. A portion of the wrapping tape disposed on the inner wall surface that protrudes toward the cable center is depressed toward the cable center.
Abstract:
An optical fiber cable is provided. The cable includes: an optical fiber core having a central axis; a presser winding covering the optical fiber core; a sheath covering the presser winding; two tension members in the sheath and facing each other with the central axis therebetween; and two rip cords facing each other with the central axis therebetween and being in direct contact with the sheath and the presser winding. The optical fiber core includes a plurality of optical fiber tapes arranged around the central axis and having mutually different stripe ring marks applied thereon. Each optical fiber tapes includes a plurality of optical fibers intermittently adhered to each other.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an intermittently connected optical fiber ribbon that includes a plurality of optical fibers arranged side by side, and connection parts arranged intermittently and each connecting two adjacent optical fibers. The method involves: a step of applying, between the optical fibers, a UV-curable resin including a siloxane structure in its molecule; a step of removing a portion of the UV-curable resin applied between the optical fibers; and a step of irradiating the UV-curable resin between the optical fibers with UV rays and forming the connection parts.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an optical fiber ribbon where adjacent optical fibers are intermittently connected in a length direction includes: feeding the optical fibers along the length direction; and intermittently applying a resin in the length direction by: rotating, between adjacent ones of the optical fibers, a rotating member having a recess, and blocking the resin with a peripheral edge part of the rotating member where the recess is not formed. A moving speed, in the length direction, of the peripheral edge part at a position where the peripheral edge part blocks the resin between the optical fibers is slower than a feeding speed of the optical fibers.
Abstract:
An optical fiber cable includes: a cable main body including a core that includes optical fibers, at least a pair of tension members that face each other with the core interposed therebetween, and an inner sheath that covers the core and the tension members; a cylindrical outer sheath that accommodates the cable main body; a reinforcing sheet provided between the cable main body and the outer sheath; and a rip cord provided between the reinforcing sheet and the cable main body. The reinforcing sheet surrounds an entire circumference of the cable main body, the reinforcing sheet includes an overlapping portion in which portions of the reinforcing sheet overlap each other in a portion in a circumferential direction of the cable main body, and the reinforcing sheet is formed of a metal.

Abstract:
A manufacturing method for an optical fiber ribbon, in which: a plurality of optical fibers are arranged in parallel and the neighboring optical fibers are partially coupled with each other at given intervals in a longitudinal direction to form a subunit; and the optical fibers positioned at side edges of the neighboring subunits are partially coupled with each other at a given intervals in the longitudinal direction, includes: sending out the optical fibers in a parallel manner with intervals provided therebetween, applying an uncured resin to the optical fibers, continuously changing positions at which the uncured resin is interrupted by a plurality of interrupt members, and forming coupled portions at which the optical fibers are coupled to each other by irradiating resin curing energy, wherein a moving period or phase of the interrupt members is changed for every arbitrary optical fibers.
