Modular Cable Arrangement Device for Single and Three-Core Fiber Adaptability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cable arrangement devices are designed for single-core optical fiber cables and fail to accommodate three-core optical fiber cables effectively.
Innovation Solution
A cable arrangement device comprising two main positioning halves and two sleeves, which are detachably connected to define an axial groove unit and auxiliary grooves, allowing for the extension of optical fiber cables through the device, accommodating both single-core and three-core optical fiber cables by adjusting the position of sleeves and grooves.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional cable arrangement device is designed for single-core optical fiber cables, then it can effectively manage single-core cables, but it cannot accommodate three-core optical fiber cables
Solution Approach 1:
The cable arrangement device is designed with a modular structure consisting of two positioning halves that can accommodate different cable configurations. The positioning halves include receiving wall portions, main wall portions, connecting wall portions, and end wall portions that cooperate to define grooves for single-core or three-core cables, allowing one device to perform multiple cable management functions
Solution Approach 2:
The device is divided into two detachably connected positioning halves, each with specific wall portions that can be independently configured. This segmentation allows the device to adapt to different cable types by arranging the halves in different configurations, reducing the need for multiple specialized devices

AI summary
A cable arrangement device adapted to use with an optical fiber cable includes two detachably connected positioning halves defining an axial groove unit that permits the optical fiber cable to extend therethrough, and two auxiliary grooves that are diametrically opposite to each other with respect to the main groove, and two sleeves disposed detachably between the positioning halves. When the sleeves are mounted between the positioning halves, the device is suitable for a three-core fiber. When the sleeves are detached from the positioning halves, the device is suitable for a single-core fiber.
