OPTICAL FIBER CABLE EQUIPPED WITH OPTICAL CONNECTOR, METHOD FOR INTRODUCING OPTICAL FIBER CABLE, TOWING TOOL USED IN INTRODUCING METHOD, AND OPTICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

There is provided an optical-connector-equipped optical fiber cable introducing method, according to which an introducing operation through an existing electrical wiring conduit or the like can be implemented, without damaging an optical fiber cable to be introduced, and with a small towing force. When inserting into a conduit 39 an optical-connector-equipped optical fiber cable 31 in which a grip 19 having a function of engaging with and disengaging from an adaptor is fitted onto a plug frame 9 that covers a ferrule, an introducing operation of the optical-connector-equipped optical fiber cable is implemented by towing and inserting the optical-connector-equipped optical fiber cable 31, from which at least the grip 19 is detached, through the conduit 39 and, thereafter, the grip 19 is attached to the plug frame 9.
