  • Publication number: 20220231489
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a cable pulling machine that can avoid, even when installed at a high place, a stop of pulling and a cable installation method. A cable pulling machine according to the present invention includes two roller portions c having outer peripheries between which a cable a is to be held and a guide f that introduces the cable a between the roller portions c. The guide f adjusts an angle ? formed between a straight line connecting respective centers o of the roller portions c and the cable a introduced between the roller portions c to a value of not less than 45° and not more than 90°.

  • Publication number: 20220228947
    Abstract: An object is to provide a determination device that determines a state of a terminal end portion of a coated optical fiber at any location of the coated optical fiber. Reflection of test light varies in a reflection amount at each wavelength depending on a situation of the terminal end portion of the coated optical fiber. In other words, if the magnitude of the reflection amount at each wavelength can be known, the situation of the terminal end portion of the coated optical fiber can be estimated. The determination device according to the present invention is configured to make test light having a plurality of wavelengths incident from the optical fiber side and determine the test light based on a light intensity ratio of each reflected light beams reflected at the terminal end. In addition, reflection of test light varies in return loss at each wavelength depending on a situation of the terminal end portion of the coated optical fiber.
