Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a retracting and releasing device, in particular to a field optical fiber and cable retracting and releasing device. Background Art

[0002] Optical cables are manufactured to meet optical, mechanical, and environmental performance specifications. They utilize one or more optical fibers enclosed in a sheath as the transmission medium and are designed for use individually or in groups. Optical cables primarily consist of optical fibers (hair-thin glass filaments) protected by a plastic sheath and outer sheath. They contain no metals such as gold, silver, copper, or aluminum and are generally not worth recycling. Optical cables are communications lines that utilize a certain number of optical fibers arranged in a specific pattern, surrounded by a sheath and sometimes an outer protective layer, to transmit optical signals. They are, in other words, cables formed from optical fibers (the optical transmission medium) through a specific process. The basic structure of an optical cable generally consists of a core, reinforcing steel wires, fillers, and a sheath. Additionally, components such as a waterproof layer, a buffer layer, and insulated metal conductors may be required. Existing optical cable retraction and deployment devices lack a cleaning function. During use, the optical cable inevitably rubs against the ground, causing dirt to adhere to the cable and compromising cable retraction. Therefore, a field optical fiber and cable retraction and deployment device is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content
