摘要:
A water absorptive composition comprising a thermoplastic elastomer as a first component, a second component and a third component selected from the group which consists of: a water-soluble resin; a hydrophilic compound selected from the group consisting of metal salt of carboxylic acid, polyhydric alcohol, amino alcohol, linear polyether, saccharide, and sugar alcohol; and a surface treating agent selected from the group consisting of sorbitan fatty acid ester, glycidyl ether of polyhydric alcohol, and silane coupling agent. The composition is suitably used for producing a water absorptive member for protecting optical fiber elements of an optical fiber cable.

摘要:
A multifiber optical connector plug capable of realizing low reflection and low insertion loss, without using the refractive index matching material. The multifiber optical connector plug includes a connector plug member made of a plastic material, having a connecting facet on which endfaces of the optical fibers to be connected with other optical fibers are arranged in a transverse direction between the guide pin insertion holes, with the endfaces of the optical fibers projecting out of the connecting facet, the connecting facet being inclined with respect to an axial direction along optical axes of the optical fibers by an angle which is larger than a total reflection critical angle of light beams transmitted through the optical fibers. The connecting facet may have a flat surface shape or a convex ellipsoidal surface shape. A multifiber optical connector can be formed by a pair of such multifiber optical connector plugs with spring member for pressing the multifiber optical connector plugs toward each other in the axial direction and guide pins for aligning the multifiber optical connector plugs.
摘要:
An optical connector for joining exposed fiber ends of coated fibers and a method of manufacturing a pair of ferrules for the optical connector. The optical connector includes a pair of the ferrules each having a flange, the coated fiber and a metal pipe molded integrally with one another by using molding resin, a coupling pin fitted through holes of the ferrules, a sleeve for receiving the metal pipes of the ferrules, and a housing member for axially clamping the ferrules to each other.
