Prefabricated Optical Cable Traction Structure for Connector Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Prefabricated cables are prone to damage during network construction due to the fragile connection between the optical fiber connector and the optical cable, as construction personnel often pull the connector by hand, risking damage to the precise structure.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a traction member, such as an optical cable suspension wire or traction rope, connected to the optical cable through a branch cable fastener, allowing construction personnel to pull the cable by gripping the traction member, thereby transferring the force-bearing point away from the optical fiber connector.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If construction personnel pull the optical fiber connector by hand to install the prefabricated cable, then the installation process is simple and direct, but the precise structure of the optical fiber connector and its connection part with the optical cable are easily damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a traction member as an intermediary component between the construction personnel and the optical fiber connector. This traction member serves as a mediator that transfers the pulling force from the personnel to the optical cable, preventing direct contact and force application to the fragile connector, thus resolving the contradiction between easy operation and connector protection
2Device complexity
If the optical fiber connector is directly connected to the optical cable without additional protective components, then the structure is simple, but the connection part is fragile and prone to damage during handling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the prefabricated cable into distinct functional sections: the optical fiber connector section, the optical cable section, and the traction member section. By dividing the structure and assigning specific functions to each segment, the weak connector area is isolated from direct mechanical stress, while the traction member segment handles all pulling forces, thus strengthening the overall structure without significantly increasing complexity
