Light panel and optical fiber ribbon with connector

Abstract

To provide a light panel and an optical fiber ribbon with a connector that even when the number of cores of optical fiber ribbons included in an optical cable introduced into a housing is different from the number of object cores of a connector connected to an adapter fitted to the housing, the respective optical fiber cores in the optical cable can be terminated and connected by the connector.SOLUTION: A first optical fiber ribbon where a multi-core connector for a plurality of optical fibers as objects to be connected is connected at an end includes first optical cores in number being a multiple of 4 that is 12 or larger. An optical cable introduced into the housing from outside includes a plurality of second optical fiber ribbons given mutually different identification colors. The respective second optical fiber ribbons have four or eight second core fibers. The first optical fiber ribbon is divided into a plurality of third optical fiber ribbons. Each third optical fiber ribbon includes four or eight first optical fiber cores. The third optical fiber ribbon is also treated according to the identification color of the second optical fiber ribbon being a connection target.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
