Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber testing method and an optical fiber winding device capable of appropriately reproducing the same lateral pressure and minute bending state in a test of an optical fiber as those in an optical cable.
In the optical fiber testing method according to the present invention, an optical fiber 51-2 of the second layer wound around a bobbin 12 is used as an object to be tested. Lateral pressure to the optical fiber 51-2 of the second layer is applied by an optical fiber 51-3 of the third layer. The lateral pressure is adjusted by a tension when the optical fiber 51-3 of the third layer is wound around the bobbin. In other words, since the lateral pressure is applied to the optical fiber to be tested from another optical fiber, the same lateral pressure and minute bending state as those in the optical cable can be reproduced.-

Abstract: An object is to provide a closure with a structure having a drainage function to eliminate water immersion into a coated optical fiber against temporary flooding and to prevent water from continuously contacting the coated optical fiber. Another object is to provide a closure with improved workability for opening and closing.
A closure according to the present invention protects a connection part that connects a coated optical fiber enclosed in a optical fiber cable with a coated optical fiber enclosed in a optical fiber cable. The closure includes a coated optical fiber housing that divides an interior of the closure into a first space that is on a side of a road and has a main body cable insertion hole for inserting the optical fiber cables from an exterior and a second space that is on an opposite side of the road and includes the connection part. The coated optical fiber housing has a frustum shape with two bases each open and a base with a smaller area of the two bases protruding toward the side of the road. The base with the smaller area of the two bases is a cable insertion hole for inserting the optical fiber cable from the first space into the second space and is not in contact with a bottom surface of the first space on the side of the road.
