Abstract: A holding jig is attachable to a plurality of optical cables to hold the plurality of optical cables in parallel to each other. The holding jig includes a plurality of gripping portions. Each of the plurality of gripping portions is configured to grip a sheath of an optical cable. Each of the plurality of gripping portions includes a first end portion and a second end portion and extends in a first direction. The first direction is, in a state in which the sheath of the optical cable is gripped, a direction from the first end portion toward the second end portion which is along an axis of the optical cable and also a direction parallel to the axis of the optical cable. The plurality of gripping portions are coupled side by side so as to grip the plurality of optical cables arranged in parallel.

Abstract: An optical branching cable set includes a plurality of optical branching cables, and a branching cord bag. At least two of the optical branching cables each include a main cable including a plurality of optical cords each including at least one optical fiber, a tensile strength member, and a tape that forms an outermost layer. A branching cord portion including at least one optical fiber that is led out from the optical cords of the main cable to an outside of the outermost layer. The branching cord bag is configured to collectively accommodate a plurality of branching cord portions provided in the plurality of optical branching cables.

Abstract: An optical branch cable includes a main cable and a branch cord portion. The main cable includes a plurality of optical cords each including at least one optical fiber core wire, a tension member, and a tape forming an outermost layer. At least one optical fiber core wire of the branch cord portion is led out from the optical cords of the main cable to an outer side of the outermost layer. The optical branch cable includes an optical cord group and a core portion. The optical cord group includes the plurality of optical cords bundled by a first bundle. The core portion includes the optical cord group and the tension member bundled by a second bundle. The tape is wrapped by longitudinal wrapping around the core portion to cover the core portion.

Abstract: A connector extracting jig according to an embodiment is a connector extracting jig for extracting an optical connector connected to a component to be connected along a connection direction from the component to be connected, the optical connector including a latch engaged with the component to be connected, the latch having a protrusion which is can be pushed down, and the protrusion releasing the engagement of the latch with the component to be connected when being pushed down, the connector extracting jig including: a butting part configured to butt on the optical connector in the connection direction; and a pushing-down part configured to be positioned closer to the component to be connected than the butting part and face the protrusion along a first direction intersecting the connection direction when the butting part butts on the optical connector.
