Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical fixed wire and a method for producing an optical fixed wire.
- optical waveguides are generally protected by a sheath.
- a simple way to protect optical fibers in the form of glass fibers from external influences is to provide the optical waveguide with a coating (so-called coating) and to apply a solid protective cover made of a suitable plastic directly over the coating of the optical waveguide.
- a coating so-called coating
- Such an arrangement is generally referred to as a fixed or full core.
- Such a wire construction is characterized in particular by the fact that the outer diameter of the wire is considerably reduced compared to a hollow wire.
- an optical fixed wire constructed in this way also has certain disadvantages.
- An optical fixed wire with TB-2 coating is comparatively expensive to manufacture, in particular the application of the different layers comparatively complex.
- the layers are applied in one operation, there is a risk of an uneven layer thickness and knot formation of the teflon caused by abrasion in the extrusion die.
- local attenuation peaks of the optical hard wire can be caused by defects where there is no Teflon.
- only a limited withdrawal speed is generally possible in the extrusion process.
- additional investment costs arise, caused by a corresponding expansion of the extrusion lines. Handling problems can also arise since the teflon layer is generally formed by a 3-component mixture, care being taken to ensure uniform dispersion in the mixture and the components have components which are hazardous to health.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an optical fixed wire, in which, while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned above, the wire sheath can be removed comparatively easily from the coating of the optical waveguide.
- the object relating to the optical fixed line is achieved by an optical fixed line according to claim 1.
- the tasks relating to the method for producing an optical fixed line are achieved by a method for producing an optical fixed line according to claim 9.
- the optical fixed wire according to the invention has a wire sheath with a wire sheath material containing polyvinyl chloride, which contains a solid component distributed in the wire sheath material, which counteracts a mechanical separation effect. effected over the coating of the optical waveguide.
- the optical fixed wire is produced in such a way that the solid component which effects the separating effect for coating the light waveguide is mixed and distributed in a compounding process into the matrix material forming the wire sheath and containing polyvinyl chloride.
- the extrusion speed when applying the PVC core sleeve to the coated optical waveguide can be increased significantly, for example from a speed of 140 m / min when producing a fixed wire with a Teflon separating layer to a higher speed 300 m / min in the production of a fixed wire according to the invention.
- the provision of the solid component does not influence the overall physical properties of the PVC conductor sleeve, since in particular the strength and the temperature behavior of the PVC conductor sleeve are not influenced. As a result, local damping properties of the fixed wire according to the invention are not influenced by the provision of the solid component. Overall, the physical and optical property profile of the fixed wire is thus not negatively influenced in the wire construction according to the invention.
- a silicone elastomer is mixed into the core sleeve material as a solid component.
- This is the matrix material of the vein sheath mixed in a compounding process, so that the solid component in the form of the silicone elastomer is statistically homogeneously distributed in the ferrule material.
- a high molecular weight polysiloxane formulation is admixed to the core sleeve material.
- this has a molecular chain length greater than approximately 100,000 polymerized monomers. It has proven to be particularly advantageous to add HTV silicone rubber (high-temperature vulcanizable silicone rubber) based on polydimethylvinylsiloxane to the core sleeve material.
- a component is admixed to the core sleeve material which, because of its chemical structure, has an aversion or incompatibility with the coating of the optical waveguide and thus brings about the separation effect with respect to the coating of the optical waveguide.
- a component can be formed, for example, by chlorinated polyethylene (CP ⁇ ).
- a mineral lubricant or release agent in particular in the form of a highly disperse silicic acid (Sipernat 44) or a talc product, is added to the buffer tube material as a filler component.
- a wax-like release agent in particular metal soap or fatty acid ester, is added to the core sheath material.
- the invention is explained below with reference to the figure shown in the drawing, which represents an embodiment of a fixed wire according to the invention.
- the figure shows a longitudinal section through an optical fixed wire 1, which has an optical waveguide in the form of an optical glass fiber 2.
- the glass fiber 2 is provided with an acrylic coating 3 all around.
- the wire sleeve 4 is applied, which closes the optical fixed wire 1 to the outside.
- the buffer tube 4 is formed by a PVC insulating compound, the polyvinyl chlorides contained in the buffer tube material being symbolized by reference number 41.
- an insoluble solid component 42 is also contained, which was mixed during the manufacture of the fixed core in a compounding process such that it is statistically homogeneously distributed in the buffer tube material.
- the solid component 42 in the form of a high-molecular polysiloxane formulation brings about a mechanical separation effect with respect to the acrylic coating 3 of the optical waveguide 2.
- the detachability of the wire sheath 4 from the coating 3 of the optical waveguide 2 can be significantly improved.
- the high molecular weight polysiloxane advantageously does not adversely affect the physical and optical properties of the fixed vein 1.
- the overall physical property profile of the PVC buffer tube is not influenced, in particular with regard to strength and temperature behavior.
- the polysiloxane is of such a high molecular weight that it does not migrate and does not migrate into the coating 4.
- a solid component 42 is admixed to the core sheath material of the core sheath 4, which component has an aversion to the acrylic coating 3 of the optical waveguide 2 due to its chemical structure.
- a component is formed in particular by chlorinated polyethylene.
