Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical
- Transmission element with at least one optical waveguide and with a chamber surrounding the optical waveguide.
- Optical transmission elements such as optical cables or optical wires are often laid during installation in such a way that the cable or wire ends hang vertically at the connection points. This can lead to the fact that the optical fibers contained in the cable or in the wire, which are usually in the cable or in the wire with a defined excess length, partially migrate out, for example as a result of gravity. Migration of the optical fibers is a problem, particularly in the area of connection sleeves, since the fibers that slide into the connection sleeve as a result of migration outward can bend and break in the process.
- a common method of fixing the optical fibers in an optical transmission element is to fill the chamber with a highly viscous, thixotropic or crosslinking filler.
- a filling compound has the disadvantage that it can run out or drip out in the case of vertically hanging ends of the transmission element.
- the filling compound escaping during installation can lead to contamination and handling problems on the part of the assembly personnel.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an optical transmission element with at least one optical waveguide and with a chamber element surrounding the optical waveguide, in which the optical waveguide is fixed in a defined manner in the longitudinal direction of the transmission element and yet inadmissible attenuation increases in the optical waveguide due to bending or changes in length of the transmission element are avoided ,
- the optical waveguide is fixed in the chamber element by a dry and compressible fixing element which is arranged between the optical waveguide and the chamber element. It completely or partially surrounds the optical waveguide and exerts a defined contact force against the chamber element and against the optical waveguide, so that a certain fixation of the optical waveguide in the longitudinal direction of the transmission element is thereby achieved.
- a dry and compressible fixing element which is arranged between the optical waveguide and the chamber element. It completely or partially surrounds the optical waveguide and exerts a defined contact force against the chamber element and against the optical waveguide, so that a certain fixation of the optical waveguide in the longitudinal direction of the transmission element is thereby achieved.
- the optical waveguide for example in the form of one or more optical fibers, has a certain amount of freedom and mobility, so that, for example when bending the optical transmission element, there are no unacceptable increases in attenuation.
- the fixing element contains an elastic foam sheet or is designed as an elastic foam sheet.
- the foam sheet advantageously contains an elastomer foam, in particular polyurethane foam, polyether foam or polyester foam. With the help of the foam sheet, a defined setting of the contact pressure and the correct friction with respect to the optical waveguide is made possible, but due to the flexible design of the foam sheet certain position changes of the optical waveguide are made possible.
- the fixing element contains a fibrous, fluffy material.
- a fibrous, fluffy material has essentially similar properties to the foam film described above.
- cotton, fiber fill or velvet-like pads with low density and high flexibility or good deformability can be used.
- such a fixing element also advantageously serves as a crush protection for the optical waveguide.
- the fixing element is designed in the form of a compressible round cord which is wound around the optical waveguide.
- the fixing element can also be designed as a profile adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the comb element and the optical waveguide. Profiles in the form of a U-profile or slotted round profile are particularly suitable for this.
- a plurality of separate fixing elements are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the transmission element with intermediate spaces lying between them, which are not occupied by fixing elements.
- the respective intermediate spaces advantageously have one greater longitudinal extension than the respective fixation elements.
- This also enables several optical fibers, which are stranded together, to form an almost undisturbed excess length helix in the transmission element. So that the fibers can move well when bending the transmission element at least within half a lay length, the longitudinal extent of the respective intermediate spaces is advantageously at least half a lay length of the respective stranded optical waveguide.
- the plurality of separate fixing elements are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the transmission element on a carrier film connecting the fixing elements.
- the carrier film is advantageously designed to swell at least on one side, for example by providing it with a swelling fleece. A very good watertightness can be achieved in the transmission element because of the penetration
- a carrier film with swelling agent detaching from the belt can also be used for this purpose, since the detaching swelling substance cannot be washed away to any appreciable extent due to the greatly slowed down flow rate of penetrating water.
- the source substance is detached by water flowing along, it attaches again to the subsequent fixing element.
- the transmission element is sealed after only a few centimeters.
- the fixing element is mixed with a swellable agent or laminated with swelling film.
- the swelling substance in powder form is stored in spaces between the fixing element, for example in the foam pores of the foam sheet or in spaces between the fibrous, fluffy material.
- a further embodiment of the fixing element can be a foam sheet that is laminated on one or both sides with a swelling sheet.
- swellable nonwovens are preferably used, in which the side containing the swelling agent faces the foam of the foam sheet. Since the foam filling the space between the optical waveguide and the chamber element strongly brakes the incoming water, the water can only spread very slowly along the transfer element. The swellable substance therefore seals the cable after just a few centimeters. It is also advantageous that the swelling agent is held firmly in the foam or in the fibrous, fluffy material and cannot be washed away.

- Foam films on a carrier film Foam films on a carrier film
- FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of an optical cable during manufacture
- FIGS. 10 and 11 each show perspective views of further embodiments of an optical transmission element according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows an optical transmission element OEll in the form of a cable which has a plurality of optical waveguides LFll in the form of individual fibers.
- the individual fibers LFll are surrounded by a core sheath AHll, with between the fibers
- a fixing element FEH is arranged in the form of a compressible foam sheet.
- This foam sheet surrounds the individual fibers almost completely (a slit SL is formed by laying the foam sheet around the fibers) and exerts a defined contact pressure
- the flexible configuration of the foam sheet enables changes in the position of the fibers, for example as a result of bending or stretching of the cable.
- the core sheath is AHll
- FIG. 2 shows a transmission element OE12 which has optical waveguides in the form of fiber ribbons LFB12.
- a fixing element FE12 in the form of a foam sheet is arranged between the wire sheath AH12 and the fiber tapes LFB12. This fulfills the same function as the foam sheet according to FIG. 1.
- the wire sheath AH12 is surrounded by aramid yarns AG12, and tensile GFK elements ZE12 are embedded in the cable sheath KM12.
- FIG. 3 shows a transmission element OE13 which has an optical waveguide LFB13 in the form of a 3 ⁇ 12 fiber bundle.
- a FE13 fixing element in the form of a foam sheet is arranged between a steel strip SB13 and the fiber bundle LFB13.
- Tensile steel wires ZE13 are embedded in the KM13 cable sheath.
- the fixation of the fibers in the cable is generated by the respective elastic foam film that surrounds the fibers.
- the cross section of the film is dimensioned such that the space between the fibers and the chamber surrounding the fibers is completely or largely filled, and a defined contact pressure is generated on the fibers and on the chamber wall.
- the foam sheet preferably contains an elastomer foam with a high coefficient of friction, such as, for example, polyurethane foam, polyether foam or polyester foam. Foam foils with densities between 10 and 100 kg / m 3 are preferably used.
- the foam of the foam sheet is preferably open-pore.
- FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal section of an embodiment of an optical wire OE1, in which the optical fibers LF are stranded together and are introduced in an excess length into the chamber formed by the wire sheath AH. There is one between the optical fibers LF and the wire sheath AH continuously arranged compressible foam film SF, which is attached to a carrier film TF, arranged.
- FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a foam sheet SF which is arranged on a carrier sheet TF.
- the carrier film TF is preferably designed as a swelling film. Good watertightness of the optical transmission element can thereby be achieved, since penetrating water is braked at the boundary of the foam sheet by its swelling.
- FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of an optical cable 0E2, which contains optical fibers LF, surrounded by a foam sheet SF, in a wire sheath AH, which in turn is surrounded by a cable sheath KM.
- the foam sheet SF is formed into a tube around the fibers LF and is encased by the wire sheath AH or by the cable sheath KM.
- FIG. 7 shows a longitudinal section of a further embodiment of an optical wire 0E3.
- the foam films SF1 to SF3 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the transmission element OE3 on a carrier film TF.
- the optical fibers LF are stranded lengthways and can form an almost undisturbed excess length helix in the transmission element due to the spaces ZR1 and ZR2.
- the spaces ZR1 and ZR2 have a greater longitudinal extension than the respective ones
- the optical fibers LF can thus be displaced well when the transmission element OE3 is bent, as a result of which attenuation increases, for example as a result of the bending radii of the optical fibers being too small, being prevented.
- the carrier film TF is designed as a swelling film in order to produce good watertightness. In the example, it is designed to swell on the side facing the foam sections. Penetrating water is braked strongly at each of the foam film sections and can therefore only spread very slowly in the longitudinal direction.
- the swelling material exposed between the foam film sections can swell undisturbed in the slowly flowing water and quickly seals the free space between the fibers LF and the buffer tube AH.
- swelling tapes with swelling agent detaching from the tape can also be used in this connection, because the detaching swelling substance cannot be washed away to any appreciable extent due to the greatly slowed flow rate of the penetrating water. Source substance that is nevertheless washed away can accumulate on each of the foam film sections.
- FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of a plurality of foam film sections SF1, SF2 on a carrier film TF.
- the carrier film TF is swellable at least on the side QS, preferably provided with a swelling fleece.
- the swellable side QS of the carrier film TF faces the foam film sections SF1, SF2 arranged thereon.
- the foam film sections are attached to the carrier film TF at appropriate intervals, for example glued.
- the foam foils which fill the entire space between the fibers and their protective cover in the uncompressed state, are mixed with a substance that swells when water enters.
- This swelling substance can be stored in powder form in the foam pores.
- the respective foam film can be laminated on one or both sides with a swelling film. Swellable nonwovens are preferably used for this, the swelling agent-containing side facing the foam of the foam sheet.
- the swelling agent is advantageously held in the foam and cannot be washed away become.
- the foam filling the intermediate space brakes incoming water strongly, so that it can only spread very slowly along the transmission element.
- the swellable substance seals the transmission element after just a few centimeters.
- FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of an optical cable OE4 during manufacture.
- the foam film sections SF1 to SF3 arranged on the carrier film TF are formed into a tube around the fibers LF and are encased in a wire sheath AH and a cable sheath KM.
- According to FIG. 6 are a prefabricated product and are comparatively inexpensive to manufacture. The outlay on equipment for producing the cable can thus be kept comparatively low.
- FIG. 10 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of an optical transmission element, in which the optical fibers LF are wrapped by a fixing element in the form of a compressible round cord RS.
- the round cord RS is supported on the outside against a chamber wall, not shown.
- FIG. 11 shows a further embodiment of a transmission element, in which the fixing element is designed as a profile PF, which is adapted to the respective cross-sectional shape of a chamber element (not shown) and the optical waveguide LFB.
- the profile PF here has the shape of a U-profile.
