Optical fiber cable splicing box

摘要

An optical fiber cable splicing box is provided that can easily connect together optical fiber cables that include a metal wire and an optical fiber. Optical fiber cable splicing box 1 includes a pair of cable holders 3A, 3B aligned in a predetermined direction fixed to a body 2, a mechanical splice 4 that optically connects together ends of optical fibers 91A and 91B, a pair of contact portions 80A and 80B respectively provided on the pair of cable holders 3A and 3B, and a metal plate 5 having conductivity. The contact portions 80A and 80B include a first connecting portion 84c that is electrically connected to metal wires 92a and 92b of optical fiber cables 90A and 90B by penetrating into a jacket 94, and a base portion 83 that is electrically conducting with the first connecting portion 84c and electrically connected to a metal plate 5.

主权项

1. An optical fiber cable splicing box that matches and connects together in a predetermined direction ends of a pair of optical fiber cables having a metal wire and an optical fiber, the splicing box comprising:
a pair of cable holders provided aligned in the predetermined direction that respectively grip jackets of a pair of the optical fiber cables; a body where a pair of the cable holders are fixed; an optical connector fixed to the body that optically connects together ends of the optical fiber in a pair of the optical fiber cables; a pair of contact portions having conductivity provided respectively on the pair of the cable holders or near the pair of the cable holders; and a bridge portion having conductivity that extends in the predetermined direction; wherein the contact portion includes: a first connection portion that is electrically connected to the metal wire of the optical fiber cable by penetrating into the jacket; and a second connection portion that is electrically connected to the bridge portion while electrically conducting with the first connection portion, wherein the optical fiber cable includes a first metal wire and a second metal wire as the metal wire; and the contact portion includes at least one of a first contact portion that is electrically connected to the first metal wire and a second contact portion that is electrically connected to the second metal wire.
