METHOD OF LAYING OPTICAL FIBER AND TRANSFER APPARATUS FOR WINDING OPTICAL FIBER

摘要

A method for laying a long continuous optical fiber into fiber receiving tubes of a plurality of segments of optical electrical hybrid cables, and a transfer apparatus for winding an optical fiber when laying the optical fiber are provided. The method comprising: laying the continuous optical fiber into a fiber receiving tube of one segment of optical electrical hybrid cable by an air-blowing device; and laying the remaining optical fiber which has passed through the one segment of optical electrical hybrid cable into a fiber receiving tube of a next optical electrical hybrid cable by the air-blowing device. Wherein a leading end of the optical fiber is fixed in a transfer apparatus after the leading end of the optical fiber comes out from an outlet of the fiber receiving tube of the one segment of optical electrical hybrid cable, and after laying the optical fiber into the fiber receiving tube of the one segment of optical electrical hybrid cable is completed, the leading end of the optical fiber is detached from the one segment of transfer apparatus so as to lay the remaining optical fiber into the fiber receiving tube of the next optical electrical hybrid cable. Since the leading end of the optical fiber is fixed in the transfer apparatus during laying, the optical fiber can be prevented from becoming disordered or being self-wound.
