Multipurpose socket for embedded optical fiber cable

Abstract

The invention provides an embedding receptacle for optical fiber which is equipped with a cable-fixing member 7 to be mounted on the rear face of a body 1. Cable guide surfaces 7b of the cable-fixing member 7 are formed by combining curved surfaces of a shape substantially hemispherical in surfaces whose cross sections of a face parallel with a front face increase from the front face toward the rear face and two curved surfaces of the shape of roughly cylindrical surfaces which are elected in the vertical direction, and which spread from the center of the right and the left to side edges from the front face toward the rear face in chevron-shape, when they are seen from the front face. A POF cable 10 is fixed to the cable-fixing member 7 in the shape that the POF cable 10 is bent by being twisted in a shape that is substantially helical along the cable guide surfaces 7b of the cable fixing member 7 from a plug insertion slot 5 toward the outside and it is arranged so that the depth dimension becomes smaller.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a receptacle for an embedded optical cable, which is embedded in a wall or a ground, and is externally connected to a plug of an optical cable such as a POF (Plastic Optical Fiber, plastic optical fiber) cable. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, optical communication using optical cables such as POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) cables has been used in offices and the like, and various optical cable connectors for interconnecting optical cables have been developed. As such a connector for an optical cable, for example, an embedded POF receptacle described in Patent Document 1 is known. The embedded POF socket has a plug insertion port provided with a connection terminal to connect to the end of a POF cable, and is embedded in the wall or the ground. And, by inserting the plug of another POF cable into the POF receptacle, the two POF cables are connected to each other. [0003] Figure 13 It shows the conventional...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the embedded POF socket as described above, since the POF cable 810 is bent longitudinally in a semicircle from the front of the embedded POF socket to the back and fixed on the cable fixing member 87, there is a The problem that the depth size increases toward the back

When the depth of the embedded POF socket is large, it cannot be used because the wall embedded box 920 , which is thinner than the illustrated wall embedded box 820 , interferes with the POF cable 810 and the cable fixing member 87 , and, when there is not enough clearance inside the wall 825, etc., the setting of the embedded POF socket becomes difficult
