PURPOSE:To effectively use an empty slot by inserting a separately prepared photoconductor through the empty slot, from which a photoconductor is drawn out, to extend an optical fiber wiring network. CONSTITUTION:A sheath 3 is cut round and removed at a photoconductor branch point 7 by a knife or the like to expose a photoconductor 6 to be branched, and the sheath 3 of an optical cable 1 is cut round and removed in a position 8, from which the distance to the branch point 7 is at least equal to the length of a photoconductor connection work excess length part 6a, to cut the photoconductor 6 to be branched. The excess length part 6a is drawn out from the branch point 7 to the outside of the cable and is branched and is connected to a photoconductor 10 for local wiring by a connector 8. The second photoconductor 12 is inserted through an empty slot 5a, which is made empty when the photoconductor connection work excess length part 6a is drawn out of the cable, from one end to the other. The photoconductor is effectively used for connection between a specific terminal machine and another terminal machine installed apart from said terminal machine or the like. |
