Abstract
A composite cable 21 with a plug 22 attached thereto includes optical fibers, metal wires, a tensile strength fiber 21a, and an envelope 21b for enveloping them and the plug 22 includes a ferrule 210 of the plug for connecting the optical fiber, a cable clamp 221 and a Kevler holder 222 (first fixing mechanism) for fixing the tensile strength fiber 21a, and a gasket 223 (second fixing mechanism) for blocking a twist of the envelope 21b and further includes a joint mechanism (227) of a detachable traction cap for pulling the composite cable 21 and inserting the composite cable 21 into piping.
Claims7
An optical DVI cable system provided with a connection point where a plug and an adapter are connected on a line equipped with optical DVI connectors at both ends, wherein
- a first cable connected between the optical DVI connector and the plug comprises an optical fiber, a metal wire, a tensile strength fiber, and an envelope for enveloping them and is laid as the plug is passed through piping, and wherein
- the plug comprises a first ferrule for connecting the optical fiber, a first fixing mechanism for fixing the tensile strength fiber, a second fixing mechanism for blocking a twist of the envelope, and a joint mechanism of a detachable traction cap for pulling the cable and allowing the cable to pass through the piping.
