PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a middle drawing low-friction sheath cable which can be laid without applying any lubricant and causing any slippage in a middle drawing machine or any falling or winding breakage in a drum in feeding the cable, and a tip drawing low-friction sheath cable which can be laid inside a conduit without applying any lubricant and deteriorating any smooth feeding from a drum. SOLUTION: In a middle drawing low-friction sheath cable, a sheath 6 as a cable outermost layer is made of a material having a static friction coefficient (JIS K 7125) of 0.18-0.40 and a dynamic friction coefficient (JIS K 7125) of 0.15-0.35 between the same materials. In contrast, in a tip drawing low-friction sheath cable, a sheath as a cable outermost layer is made of a material having a static friction coefficient (JIS K 7125) of 0.08-0.20 and a dynamic friction coefficient (JIS K 7125) of 0.05-0.15 between the same materials.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of laying a cable such as an optical fiber cable in a pipeline, there is known a method called an intermediate traction machine laying system in which a cable middle is laid in a pipeline while being pulled by a traction machine.

In this laying method, in order to reduce the laying tension of the cable and extend the laying length, a lubricant is applied to the surface of the cable to reduce the frictional force between the cable and the pipeline or between the cables. That is usually done.

However, in such a method, a lubricant must be applied each time the cable is laid, and in order to prevent slippage between the belt and the cable of the traction machine, the lubricant adheres to the cable surface immediately before the intermediate traction machine. It is necessary to remove the lubricant once and to apply the lubricant again after passing through the traction machine, and there is a problem that the laying operation is complicated.

Further, as a method of laying a cable such as an optical fiber cable, there is known a method called a pressure feeding laying method in which a cable is conveyed and laid using a pressure of air in a previously laid pipe.

In this pumping method, in order to enable the cable to be pumped smoothly and over a long distance, a lubricant is applied to the inside of the pipe in advance, or a lubricant is applied to the surface of the cable, so that the cable and the pipe are connected. It is common practice to reduce frictional forces with the inner surface.

However, in such a method, a lubricant must be applied each time the cable is laid, which makes the laying operation complicated and increases the number of cables laid in a single conduit. There was a problem that it could not be handled. That is, for example, when a new cable with a lubricant is laid in a pipeline in which an optical fiber cable laid with a lubricant is laid, the lubricant on the existing cable surface has already been dissipated, Even if a lubricant was applied to the surface of the newly installed cable, it was difficult to smoothly lay the cable without receiving a large resistance.

Incidentally, the frictional force of the cable is reduced as the coefficient of friction of the cable jacket is reduced. However, if the coefficient of friction is excessively reduced, the cable may slip with the belt of the traction machine in the case of the intermediate traction cable, and the predetermined traction speed may not be maintained. Also, when pulling out the cable from the drum,
There is a possibility that the cable may fall or collapse, which may hinder the smooth installation of the cable. Similarly, in the case of a cable towed at the tip, when the cable is pulled out from the drum, the cable may drop or collapse, which may hinder the smooth installation of the cable.

If any one of the static friction coefficient and the dynamic friction coefficient of the same material measured in accordance with JIS K 7125 is smaller than the above range, dropping or collapse of the drum at the time of cable feeding out occurs. There is a risk that the installation will be hindered. Conversely, if any one of the static friction coefficient and the dynamic friction coefficient of the same material measured in accordance with JIS K 7125 exceeds the above range, the frictional force between the cable and the conduit, or between the cables, is reduced to the conventional value. The size may be larger than when a lubricant is applied, which may make installation work difficult.

In the low-friction sheathed optical fiber cable constructed as described above, the frictional force between the cable and the conduit or between the cables is reduced to a level equal to or greater than that when a conventional lubricant is applied. Smooth installation can be performed without applying a lubricant. Therefore,
This eliminates the need for a troublesome work of applying the lubricant at the time of laying or removing the lubricant immediately before the intermediate traction machine and applying the lubricant again after passing through the intermediate traction machine, thereby improving the workability of the laying work. In addition, there is no occurrence of slip between the belt of the towing machine and no cable dropping or winding collapse at the drum when the cable is fed out.

If at least one of the static friction coefficient and the dynamic friction coefficient of the same material measured in accordance with JIS K 7125 is smaller than the above range, a drop or a collapse of the drum occurs at the time of feeding the cable, and the cable is not laid. It may cause trouble. Conversely, if any one of the static friction coefficient and the dynamic friction coefficient of the same material measured in accordance with JIS K 7125 exceeds the above range, the frictional force between the cable and the pipeline, or between the cables, is reduced by the conventional lubrication. As compared with the case where the agent is applied, the pressure feeding distance may be shortened.

In the case of a flame-retardant material, it is difficult to obtain a material whose static friction coefficient and dynamic friction coefficient are smaller than 0.12 and 0.08, respectively, even if a large amount of a lubricant is added. Therefore, when using flame-retardant materials, the static friction coefficient (JISK 7125) between the same materials is 0.12 to 0.20,
A material having a dynamic friction coefficient (JIS K 7125) of 0.08 to 0.15 is selected.

In the low-friction sheathed cable constructed as described above, the frictional force between the cable and the conduit or between the cables is reduced to a level equal to or greater than that when a conventional lubricant is applied. Without applying
A distance equal to or longer than the case where the lubricant is applied can be laid. Therefore, it is possible to omit the lubricant application work at the time of laying, and to improve the workability of the laying work. In addition, since the decrease in frictional force is stably maintained for a long period of time, the lubricant can be dissipated and the low frictional effect is not lost as in the related art, and multi-layer laying can be performed. Moreover,
When the cable is paid out, the cable does not drop or collapse on the drum.
