The service life of optical cables has attracted great attention from people. Among them, the water seepage performance of optical cables is one of the main indicators for evaluating the quality of optical cables and is also an important indicator to ensure the service life of optical cables. During the use of optical cables, if water seeps into the cable core, that is, around the optical fibers, it will cause an increase in the water peak attenuation of the optical cable, corrosion of the metal strengthening members in the cable core, and even water entering the optical cable joint box along the cable core, bringing a huge impact to the entire information communication. The water seepage test device for optical cables can detect the water seepage performance of optical cables. In the prior art, most of the water seepage testing machines are the solutions disclosed in, for example, the patent (publication number: CN208505539U), which have a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. However, when in use, it is necessary to manually add tap water into a circular tube with a small diameter, and the operation is inconvenient. Content of the Utility Model
