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。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in optical communication-related facilities, visualization of communication light transmitted through an optical communication path has been realized for the purpose of visually confirming a communication state (for example, whether or not 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）。 Communication light visualization techniques include, for example, a communication light visualization adapter for extracting a part of communication light transmitted through an optical communication path as leakage light, and an optical communication path for receiving leakage light extracted through the communication light visualization adapter. There is known a communication light visualizing structure including a communication light detector for detecting a communication situation in the above and outputting the result in a form that can be visually checked by a human (for example, see Patent Documents 1 to 5).
しかしながら、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、作業者が通信光検知器を通信光可視化アダプタに嵌挿する必要があるため、作業負担が大きく、また作業空間や嵌挿空間が必要となるため、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。 However, in the communication light visualization structure, when visually confirming the communication status in the optical communication path, it is necessary for an operator to insert the communication light detector into the communication light visualization adapter. Since a work space and a fitting space are required, it is an obstacle in aiming at high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter.
そこで、本発明の目的は、作業負担を軽減すると共に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。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a communication light visualization patch panel capable of reducing the work load and realizing high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter.
本発明は、複数の光通信路のそれぞれ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と、複数の前記通信光可視化アダプタが実装されるパネルと、複数の前記通信光可視化アダプタを通じて取り出される前記漏洩光のそれぞれを受光して複数の前記光通信路のそれぞれにおける通信状況を検知するための複数の受光素子と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複数の発光素子とが一括して実装される通信光検知基板と、給電部が電気的に接続されて前記通信光検知基板に電源を供給するための給電ポートと、を備える通信光可視化パッチパネルである。 The present invention provides a plurality of communication light visualization adapters for extracting a part of communication light transmitted through each of the plurality of optical communication paths as leak light, a panel on which a plurality of the communication light visualization adapters are mounted, A plurality of light-receiving elements for receiving each of the leaked lights extracted through the communication light visualization adapter and detecting a communication state in each of the plurality of optical communication paths, and outputting the results in a form that can be visually confirmed by a human.

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、複数の光通信路のそれぞれ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と、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１が実装されるパネル１０２と、パネル１０２が設置される光配線用棚板１０３と、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を通じて取り出される漏洩光のそれぞれを受光して複数の光通信路のそれぞれにおける通信状況を検知するための複数の受光素子（不図示）と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複数の発光素子（不図示）とが一括して実装される通信光検知基板１０４と、光配線用棚板１０３に設置されると共に給電部１０５が電気的に接続されて通信光検知基板１０４に電源を供給するための給電ポート１０６と、を備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1, a communication light visualization patch panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of communication light visualizations for extracting a part of communication light transmitted through each of a plurality of optical communication paths as leakage light. An adapter 101, a panel 102 on which the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are mounted, an optical wiring shelf 103 on which the panel 102 is installed, and a leak light extracted through the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are received. A plurality of light receiving elements (not shown) for detecting the communication status in each of the plurality of optical communication paths and a plurality of light emitting elements (not shown) for outputting the result in a form that can be visually checked by a human. The communication light detection board 104 is mounted on the optical wiring shelf 103 and the power supply unit 105 is electrically connected to the communication light detection board 104. And a, a feeding port 106 for supplying power.
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２つのＳＣフェルールを内蔵している。２つのＳＣフェルールのそれぞれは、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き合わせ接続されている。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 has, for example, two SC ferrules for optically connecting an optical communication path made of an optical fiber. Both ends of each of the two SC ferrules are polished, and are butt-connected with a slight shift to shift the optical axis of the optical communication path. This makes it possible to extract a part of the communication light transmitted through the optical communication path 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おり、その光取出孔のそれぞれに複数の受光素子のそれぞれが嵌挿されるように、通信光検知基板１０４が配置されている。 Further, the communication light visualization adapter 101 has a light extraction hole for guiding and extracting leakage light from the inside of the communication light visualization adapter 101 to the outside, and a plurality of light reception holes are provided in each of the light extraction holes. The communication light detection board 104 is arranged so that each of the elements is inserted.
パネル１０２は、図２に示す通り、所定の配列（例えば、千鳥配列や並列配列）で穿設されると共に通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を実装するための実装口１０７と、実装口１０７に通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を螺子やビス等で固定するための固定孔１０８と、パネル１０２の裏面側に配置される通信光検知基板１０４の発光素子の光を表面側から確認可能とするための表示孔１０９と、を有している。 As shown in FIG. 2, the panel 102 is provided in a predetermined arrangement (for example, a staggered arrangement or a parallel arrangement) and has a mounting port 107 for mounting the communication light visualization adapter 101 and a communication light visualization in the mounting port 107. A fixing hole 108 for fixing the adapter 101 with screws or screws, and a display hole 109 for enabling the light of the light emitting element of the communication light detection board 104 disposed on the back side of the panel 102 to be confirmed from the front side. ,have.
光配線用棚板１０３は、所定の配列（例えば、千鳥配列や並列配列）で穿設されると共に通信光可視化パッチパネル１００が収容されるサーバラックに籠もる熱を排熱するための通気孔１１０と、光配線用棚板１０３をサーバラックに固定するための固定部１１１と、を有している。 The optical wiring shelf board 103 is provided in a predetermined arrangement (for example, a staggered arrangement or a parallel arrangement), and has a through hole for discharging heat accumulated in a server rack in which the communication light visualization patch panel 100 is housed. It has pores 110 and fixing portions 111 for fixing the optical wiring shelf 103 to the server rack.
通信光検知基板１０４は、１つで一部の光通信路（図１においては６つ毎の光通信路）における通信状況を検知するサイズに形成しても良いし、１つで全ての光通信路における通信状況を検知するサイズに形成しても構わない。１つで一部の光通信路における通信状況を検知するサイズに形成する場合は、図３に示す通り、複数の通信光検知基板１０４のそれぞれを小型のコネクタ１１２を使用して給電路を電気的に接続することが望ましい。これにより、１つの給電ポート１０６で全ての通信光検知基板１０４に給電が行えるため、給電ポート１０６の数を減らして配線空間を有効利用することが可能となる。 The communication light detection board 104 may be formed to have a size for detecting the communication status in a part of the optical communication paths (in FIG. 1, every six optical communication paths), or one communication light detection board 104 The size may be formed to detect the communication status in the communication path. When one of the optical communication paths is formed to have a size that can detect the communication status in some of the optical communication paths, as shown in FIG. It is desirable to make a connection. As a result, power can be supplied to all the communication light detection boards 104 by one power supply port 106, so that the number of power supply ports 106 can be reduced and wiring space can be used effectively.
また、通信光検知基板１０４は、図３に示す通り、通信光検知基板１０４の両端部に配置される通信光可視化アダプタ１０１に固定される舌片１１３を有している。これにより、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１に対する通信光検知基板１０４の位置ズレを防止することができるため、複数の光通信路のそれぞれにおける通信状況を高精度で検知することが可能となる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the communication light detection board 104 has tongue pieces 113 fixed to the communication light visualization adapters 101 arranged at both ends of the communication light detection board 104. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the position of the communication light detection board 104 from being shifted with respect to the communication light visualization adapter 101, and thus it is possible to detect the communication state in each of the plurality of optical communication paths with high accuracy.
給電部１０５は、例えば、携帯型バッテリやコンセント等からなり、給電コード１１４を通じて給電ポート１０６に電気的且つ着脱自在に接続されている。これにより、光通信路の通信状況を検知する必要があるときのみ給電が行えるため、消費電力の削減に寄与することが可能となる。 The power supply unit 105 includes, for example, a portable battery and an outlet, and is electrically and detachably connected to the power supply port 106 through a power supply cord 114. As a result, power can be supplied only when it is necessary to detect the communication status of the optical communication path, which can contribute to a reduction in power consumption.
給電ポート１０６は、通信光可視化アダプタ１０１と離れた位置に配置されている。これにより、給電部１０５を給電ポート１０６に電気的に接続する際に作業者の手が光通信路に触れ難くなるため、光コネクタの誤抜や光通信路の断線を効果的に抑制することが可能となる。 The power supply port 106 is arranged at a position separated from the communication light visualization adapter 101. This makes it difficult for an operator's hand to touch the optical communication path when the power supply unit 105 is electrically connected to the power supply port 106, thereby effectively preventing erroneous disconnection of the optical connector and disconnection of the optical communication path. Becomes possible.
また、給電ポート１０６は、図４に示す通り、光配線用棚板１０３の裏面側に配線される給電線１１５を通じて通信光検知基板１０４（通信光検知基板１０４が複数ある場合はそのうちの１つ）に電気的に接続されている。これにより、給電線１１５が光配線用棚板１０３の表面側に配線される光通信路と干渉することが無いため、給電線１１５と光通信路との絡まりや断線を抑制することが可能となる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the power supply port 106 is connected to the communication light detection board 104 (or one of the communication light detection boards 104 when there are a plurality of communication light detection boards 104) through a power supply line 115 wired on the back side of the optical wiring shelf 103. ) Is electrically connected. Accordingly, the power supply line 115 does not interfere with the optical communication path wired on the front side of the optical wiring shelf 103, so that the entanglement and disconnection between the power supply line 115 and the optical communication path can be suppressed. Become.
以上の通り、通信光可視化パッチパネル１００によれば、給電部１０５を給電ポート１０６に電気的に接続している間は、何の作業も無しに複数の光通信路のそれぞれにおける通信状況を一括して検知することができるため、光通信路における通信状況を検知する際の作業負担を軽減することが可能となる。 As described above, according to the communication light visualization patch panel 100, while the power supply unit 105 is electrically connected to the power supply port 106, the communication status in each of the plurality of optical communication paths is collectively determined without any operation. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the work load when detecting the communication status in the optical communication path.
また、通信光可視化パッチパネル１００によれば、従来の通信光可視化構造のように、通信光検知器を通信光可視化アダプタ１０１に嵌挿する必要が無く、作業空間や嵌挿空間を必要としないため、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, according to the communication light visualization patch panel 100, unlike the conventional communication light visualization structure, there is no need to insert the communication light detector into the communication light visualization adapter 101, and no work space or insertion space is required. Therefore, high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter 101 can be realized.
