OPTICAL SUBMARINE REPEATER AND METHOD FOR STORING EXCESSIVE PART OF CONNECTION IN OPTICAL SUBMARINE REPEATER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the structure of a repeater housing of an optical submarine repeater and a method for storing excessive part of connection, in the optical submarine repeater.;SOLUTION: In the axial direction of a columnar optical circuit unit, a long slit leading to the center is provided, thereby making a structure, in which the connecting part of a coated optical fiber and a storing tray for storing the excessive part of the connection that are installed inside the circuit can be drawn out from the slit. As a result, connecting/storing operation of the optical fibers can be performed, with the storing tray drawn outside the housing, so that no operation space is required inside the repeater housing, enabling the optical circuit unit to be mounted efficiently inside the housing.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
