従来より、光通信関連設備においては、光通信路における通信状況（例えば、光通信路が使用中であるか否か）の目視確認を目的として光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の可視化を実現する通信光可視化技術が採用されている。 Conventionally, in optical communication related facilities, visualization of communication light transmitted through the optical communication path has been realized for the purpose of visual confirmation of the communication status (for example, whether the optical communication path is in use) in the optical communication path. Communication light visualization technology is adopted.
通信光可視化技術としては、例えば、光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の一部を漏洩光として取り出すための通信光可視化アダプタと、通信光可視化アダプタを通じて取り出される漏洩光を受光して光通信路における通信状況を検知すると共にその結果を人間が目視確認できる形態で出力するための通信光検知器と、を備える通信光可視化構造が知られている（例えば、特許文献１乃至５を参照）。 As the communication light visualization technology, for example, a communication light visualization adapter for taking out a part of communication light transmitted through the optical communication path as leaked light, and an optical communication path by receiving the leaked light extracted through the communication light visualization adapter There is known a communication light visualization structure that includes a communication light detector for detecting a communication state in, and outputting the result in a form that can be visually confirmed by a human (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 5).
通信光可視化構造においては、光通信路における通信状況の目視確認を行う際に、通信光検知器を通信光可視化アダプタに嵌挿するための嵌挿空間を確保する必要があるが、複数の通信光可視化アダプタが整列して実装される通信光可視化パッチパネルを複数段に積層して配置しようとすると、嵌挿空間を十分に確保することができなくなるため、通信光可視化アダプタの高密度実装を目指す上で障害となっている。 In the communication light visualization structure, it is necessary to secure an insertion space for inserting the communication light detector into the communication light visualization adapter when performing visual confirmation of the communication status in the optical communication path. If you attempt to stack and arrange communication light visualization patch panels that are mounted with light visualization adapters arranged in rows, it will not be possible to secure a sufficient insertion space. It is an obstacle to aim.
そこで、本発明の目的は、複数段に積層して配置することができ、通信光可視化アダプタの高密度実装を実現することが可能な通信光可視化パッチパネルを提供することにある。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a communication light visualization patch panel that can be stacked in a plurality of stages and can realize high-density mounting of a communication light visualization adapter.

It is a communication light visualization patch panel provided with a plurality of panels.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に順って説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
図１，２に示す通り、本発明の実施の形態に係る通信光可視化パッチパネル１００は、光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の一部を漏洩光として取り出すための複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１が整列して実装されると共に複数段に亘って階段状に位置をずらして配置される複数のパネル１０２を備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a communication light visualization patch panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 for extracting a part of communication light transmitted through an optical communication path as leakage light. Are arranged and mounted, and are provided with a plurality of panels 102 arranged in a staircase manner over a plurality of stages.
通信光可視化アダプタ１０１は、例えば、光ファイバからなる光通信路を光学的に接続するための１組のＳＣフェルールを内装している。１組のＳＣフェルールは、両端に研磨が施されており、光通信路の光軸をずらすために少しだけずらして突合接続されている。これにより、光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の一部を漏洩光として取り出すことが可能となる。 The communication light visualization adapter 101 includes, for example, a set of SC ferrules for optically connecting optical communication paths made of optical fibers. One set of SC ferrules are polished at both ends, and are butt-connected with a slight shift in order to shift the optical axis of the optical communication path. As a result, a part of the communication light transmitted through the optical communication path can be extracted as leakage light.
また、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１は、漏洩光を通信光可視化アダプタ１０１の内部から外部に向けて導光して取り出すための光取出孔を有している。通信光可視化アダプタ１０１の光取出孔に通信光検知器の受光素子が嵌挿されるように、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１に通信光検知器が取り付けられる。 Further, the communication light visualization adapter 101 has a light extraction hole for guiding and extracting leaked light from the inside of the communication light visualization adapter 101 to the outside. The communication light detector is attached to the communication light visualization adapter 101 such that the light receiving element of the communication light detector is inserted into the light extraction hole of the communication light visualization adapter 101.
通信光検知器は、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を通じて取り出される漏洩光を受光して光通信路における通信状況を検知すると共にその結果を人間が目視確認できる形態で出力する。これにより、光通信路における通信状況の目視確認を目的として光通信路を通じて伝送される通信光の可視化を実現することが可能となる。 The communication light detector receives leaked light extracted through the communication light visualization adapter 101, detects the communication status in the optical communication path, and outputs the result in a form that can be visually confirmed by a human. This makes it possible to realize visualization of communication light transmitted through the optical communication path for the purpose of visual confirmation of the communication status in the optical communication path.
更に、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１は、所定の配列（例えば、千鳥配列や並列配列）で整列してパネル１０２に実装されている。このとき、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を千鳥配列で整列してパネル１０２に実装することにより、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を並列配列で整列してパネル１０２に実装する場合と比較して通信光可視化アダプタ１０１の高密度実装を実現することが可能となる。 Further, the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are mounted on the panel 102 in a predetermined arrangement (for example, a staggered arrangement or a parallel arrangement). At this time, by arranging a plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 in a staggered arrangement and mounting them on panel 102, communication is performed compared to a case where a plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are arranged in parallel arrangement and mounted on panel 102. High-density mounting of the light visualization adapter 101 can be realized.
即ち、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を並列配列とした場合は、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１とその隣の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１との間に距離を設ける必要があるが、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を千鳥配列とした場合は、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１とその隣の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１との間に距離を設ける必要が無く、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１の高密度実装を実現することができる。 That is, when a plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are arranged in parallel, it is necessary to provide a distance between the communication light visualization adapter 101 and the adjacent communication light visualization adapter 101. Is a staggered arrangement, it is not necessary to provide a distance between the communication light visualization adapter 101 and the adjacent communication light visualization adapter 101, and high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter 101 can be realized.
複数のパネル１０２は、相互に別体として形成されている。これにより、複数のパネル１０２を容易に分離させたり組み立てたりすることができるため、メンテナンスや多段積層を容易に実現することが可能となる。図１，２では、２つのパネル１０２を上下二段に積層しているが、三段以上に積層しても構わない。また、複数のパネル１０２は、ラッチ１０３により組み立て可能に構成されている。 The plurality of panels 102 are formed as separate bodies. As a result, since the plurality of panels 102 can be easily separated or assembled, maintenance and multi-stage stacking can be easily realized. 1 and 2, the two panels 102 are stacked in two upper and lower stages, but may be stacked in three or more stages. The plurality of panels 102 are configured to be assembled by a latch 103.
また、通信光可視化パッチパネル１００は、パネル１０２を起立させる底面として機能すると共にパネル１０２から延在する配線が収容される配線用棚板１０４を更に備えている。配線用棚板１０４は、パネル１０２と一体的に形成されても良く、一枚の金属板材をプレス成形すること等によって製造することができる。配線用棚板１０４の前端１０５は、配線用棚板１０４に収容される配線が配線用棚板１０４から落ちないように折り曲げられている。 The communication light visualization patch panel 100 further includes a wiring shelf 104 that functions as a bottom surface for raising the panel 102 and that accommodates wiring extending from the panel 102. The wiring shelf 104 may be formed integrally with the panel 102, and can be manufactured by press-molding a single metal plate. The front end 105 of the wiring shelf 104 is bent so that the wiring accommodated in the wiring shelf 104 does not fall from the wiring shelf 104.
なお、最下段の配線用棚板１０４は、後端１０６も折り曲げられており、その中央付近にパネル１０２が起立して設置されている。このとき、パネル１０２は、配線用棚板１０４の両側端から起立する側壁１０７にビス留め等により取り付けられる。側壁１０７には、通信光可視化パッチパネル１００をサーバラック等に取り付けるためのフランジ１０８が設けられている。 In addition, the rearmost end 106 of the wiring shelf board 104 at the lowermost stage is also bent, and the panel 102 is installed upright near the center. At this time, the panel 102 is attached to the side wall 107 standing from both side ends of the wiring shelf board 104 by screwing or the like. The side wall 107 is provided with a flange 108 for attaching the communication light visualization patch panel 100 to a server rack or the like.
また、配線用棚板１０４は、複数の貫通孔１０９を有しており、配線用棚板１０４に収容される配線を面ファスナーやインシュロックで固定できるようになっている。これにより、配線の位置ずれや作業者の手等が引っかかることによる配線の断線等を防止することが可能となる。 Moreover, the wiring shelf board 104 has a plurality of through holes 109 so that the wiring accommodated in the wiring shelf board 104 can be fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener or an insulation lock. As a result, it is possible to prevent the disconnection of the wiring due to the displacement of the wiring or the hand of the operator being caught.
以上の通り、通信光可視化パッチパネル１００によれば、複数のパネル１０２が複数段に亘って階段状に位置をずらして配置されているため、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１の嵌挿空間を確実に確保することが可能となる。そのため、本発明によれば、複数段に積層して配置することができ、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１の高密度実装を実現することが可能な通信光可視化パッチパネルを提供することができる。 As described above, according to the communication light visualization patch panel 100, since the plurality of panels 102 are arranged in a stepped manner over a plurality of steps, the insertion space for the communication light visualization adapter 101 is reliably ensured. It becomes possible to do. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a communication light visualization patch panel that can be arranged in a plurality of stages and can realize high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter 101.
