In these plastic optical fiber cables, an optical fiber bare wire having a structure in which one core and a sheath around the core are thinly concentrically covered is usually coated with a thermoplastic resin. In such a plastic optical fiber, the diameter of the core is usually 0.5 to 1.
It is 5 mm. As another structure of the optical fiber cable, there is also used a bundle cable in which several tens of thin plastic optical fibers of 0.1 to 0.2 mm are bundled and covered with a thermoplastic resin.

The characteristics of the plastic optical fiber are that since it has flexibility, a fiber having a large diameter can be used and a large amount of incident light can be obtained, so that the optical fiber can be connected by a simple terminal treatment. There is a characteristic that becomes. However, the large diameter of the optical fiber also has a drawback that the optical loss due to the bending of the fiber is large. Therefore, if the diameter of the plastic optical fiber is reduced, the amount of incident light is reduced, and it becomes necessary to bundle several thin optical fibers. However, even if the glass fiber is thin, it is relatively easy to bundle it, so that it is relatively easy to bundle it. Is not stiff, and repulsed by static electricity,
In addition to using cables, handling of fixing terminals to connectors becomes complicated. Moreover, since the individual plastic optical fibers are not fused to each other, a partial shift may occur, or the tip may pop out or retract, resulting in a large decrease in the light amount. Furthermore, when such thin fibers are bundled, the fibers are easily broken,
Transmission loss increases.

The present invention relates to a cable suitable for optical signal transmission, in which a multicore plastic optical fiber having a circular cross section filled with a sheath resin having a low refractive index is protectively coated with a thermoplastic resin.

The multicore optical plastic optical fiber used here is already known as will be described later, but the conventional multicore optical fiber is used as an image fiber.
It is used for sending an image to the other end surface while maintaining the positional relationship between the image formed on the front end surface and the intensity pattern of light, and each core is used as a pixel. On the other hand, the method of using the multi-core optical fiber of the present invention does not use the arrangement of individual cores (as pixels), but collects all cores from the transmission module to the reception module of the optical data link. They differ in that they are used to send a set of optical signals.

According to the present invention, unlike a bundle of a large number of thin plastic optical fibers, it can be handled as if it were a single core optical fiber, and a method of fixing a terminal to a connector or the like is The caulking of the protective coating layer and the bonding with an adhesive can be performed, and the constituent cores do not retract or pop out. The multi-core plastic optical fiber used in the present invention is made of a transparent core resin having a high refractive index, each core has a diameter of 50 microns or less, and at least 500 or more core fibers are individually partitioned. The multi-core optical fiber having a circular cross section filled with a sheath resin having a low refractive index and bundled together. The diameter of the cross section is about 0.1 mm to 2 mm, usually about 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm.

Here, if the diameter of the core is larger than 50 μm, the optical loss due to bending of the fiber is large, so it is preferable that it is as small as possible, and the preferable size is about 5 to 40 μm. It is necessary to make the number of cores 500 or more to make the cross-section as uniform as possible.
In the multi-core optical fiber having such a structure, a large number of cores and the sheath resin surrounding the core are firmly integrated, and even if the multi-core optical fiber having a cross-sectional diameter of about 1 mm is bent small, the optical loss is extremely small. The excellent feature was found. The loss is only a fraction to a few tenths of the optical loss due to bending of an ordinary single-core plastic optical fiber having a bare wire diameter of about 1 mm.

The place where the plastic optical fiber cable is laid is not limited to a fixed place, and it may be a portable audio device, an in-vehicle device, or a machine tool such as a robot. For example, bending of the cable due to vibration or movement is inevitable. Normally, a sufficient design is made in anticipation of those fluctuations, but there are always hidden situations where extreme disturbances cause noise, such as when something is caught on a cable.
According to the present invention, since the influence on bending can be minimized, the influence of noise due to such disturbance can be avoided.

As described above, the characteristic that the fluctuation of the optical power is small even if the cable is bent or vibrated, and it is not affected by the extreme bending, which is also preferable in the case of digital communication, but the electric signal is not changed.

It can also be applied to SC optical data links. The multi-core plastic optical fiber used in the present invention is made of PMMA-based resin, polycarbonate-based resin, polystyrene-based resin, or the like as the core material, and the sheath resin is an ordinary plastic corresponding to these core resins. A known resin can be used as the sheath resin of the optical fiber.

When using at a high temperature of about 120 ° C., it is particularly preferable to use a multi-core optical fiber cable in which the core resin is polycarbonate and the sheath resin is PMMA. Since the PMMA resin adheres well to the polycarbonate resin, the reliability of the fiber is excellent especially in a high humidity atmosphere. However, in the case of a single-core fiber, the PMMA resin in the sheath flows at high temperature and the transmission loss is increased. Or the mechanical strength decreases. However, multi-core,
This is because an optical fiber cable having a polycarbonate resin core / PMMA resin sheath can solve the problem.

Since the present invention is mainly concerned with signal transmission, the resolution as an image fiber does not matter, but the ratio of the area of the core to the area of the sheath in the cross section of the multicore optical fiber is 9 / core / 9. It is preferably about 1 to 4/6. Increasing the amount of sheath is especially effective when using a heat-resistant sheath to wrap the core of PMMA resin to increase heat resistance, but in the range where the transmission loss value is maintained when increasing the amount of transmitted light. The smaller the amount of pods, the better.

It is also possible to perform the fusion treatment on the tip of the bare wire of the multi-core optical fiber itself with a hot plate, or to enlarge the tip. It can also be fixed with an adhesive.
