There is known a communication light visualization structure including a communication light detector for detecting the communication status in (1) and outputting the result in a form that can be visually confirmed by a human (for example, refer to 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, the operator needs to insert the communication light detector into the communication light visualization adapter when visually confirming the communication status in the optical communication path, which results in a large work load, and Since a working space and a fitting space are required, this is an obstacle to high-density mounting of the communication light visualization adapter.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に順って説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below 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、複数の光通信路の夫々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、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夫々を受光して複数の光通信路の夫々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回路（不図示）と、パネル１０２に設置されると共に給電部１０３が電気的に接続されて通信光検知回路に電源を供給するための給電ポート１０４と、を備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the communication-light visualization patch panel 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention uses a plurality of communication for extracting a part of the communication light transmitted through each of the plurality of optical communication paths as leakage light. The light visualization adapter 101, the panel 102 on which the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are mounted, and the leaked light extracted through the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are respectively received to determine the communication status in each of the plurality of optical communication paths. A communication light detection circuit (not shown) in which a plurality of light receiving elements (not shown) for detection and a plurality of light emitting elements (not shown) for outputting the result in a form that can be visually confirmed by a human are collectively mounted. ) And a power supply port 104 installed on the panel 102 and electrically connected to the power supply unit 103 to supply power to the communication light detection circuit.
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フェルールの夫々は、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. Each of the two SC ferrules has both ends polished, and is 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、通信光検知回路は、その光取出孔の夫々に複数の受光素子の夫々が嵌挿されるようにパネル１０２に内蔵されている。 In addition, 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, and the communication light detection circuit has the light extraction hole. Are built in the panel 102 so that a plurality of light receiving elements are inserted into the respective light receiving elements.
パネル１０２は、帯板１０５の両端部１０６が略９０°に屈曲されて形成される前面側パネル部品１０７と、前面側パネル部品１０７の背面に所定の隙間を隔てて取り付けられる平板状の背面側パネル部品１０８と、を有している。 The panel 102 includes a front panel part 107 formed by bending both ends 106 of the strip plate 105 at approximately 90 °, and a flat plate-shaped back panel attached to the back surface of the front panel part 107 with a predetermined gap. And a panel component 108.
前面側パネル部品１０７は、前述の給電ポート１０４の他にも、帯板１０５の両端部１０６に形成されると共にパネル１０２を配線収容棚やサーバラック等に固定するための螺子通孔１０９を有している。 In addition to the power supply port 104 described above, the front panel part 107 has screw holes 109 formed on both end portions 106 of the strip plate 105 and for fixing the panel 102 to a wiring storage shelf or a server rack. is doing.
また、前面側パネル部品１０７は、図３に示す通り、所定の配列（例えば、並列配列）で穿設されると共に通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を実装するための前面側実装口１１０と、前面側パネル部品１０７と背面側パネル部品１０８との間に内蔵される通信光検知回路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１１１と、を有している。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the front panel component 107 is provided in a predetermined array (for example, a parallel array) and has a front mounting port 110 for mounting the communication light visualization adapter 101, and a front panel. A display hole 111 is provided between the component 107 and the rear panel component 108 so that the light emitted from the light emitting element of the communication light detection circuit can be confirmed from the front side.
背面側パネル部品１０８は、前面側実装口１１０と対応して所定の配列（例えば、並列配列）で穿設されると共に通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を実装するための背面側実装口１１２を有している。 The back side panel component 108 has a back side mounting port 112 for mounting the communication light visualization adapter 101, which is formed in a predetermined array (for example, a parallel array) corresponding to the front side mounting port 110. There is.
これらにより、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１は、前面側実装口１１０と背面側実装口１１２の配列に対応して所定の配列（例えば、並列配列）で実装されることになる。 As a result, the plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 are mounted in a predetermined array (for example, a parallel array) corresponding to the array of the front side mounting port 110 and the back side mounting port 112.
また、前面側パネル部品１０７は、両端部１０６の上面側の一部が屈曲されて形成される座部１１３と、帯板１０５の上面部が屈曲されて形成される抑え部１１４と、を有しており、背面側パネル部品１０８は、平板状の上面部が屈曲されて形成される被支持部１１５を有している。 In addition, the front panel component 107 has a seat portion 113 formed by bending a part of the upper surface side of both end portions 106, and a restraining portion 114 formed by bending the upper surface portion of the strip plate 105. Therefore, the rear panel component 108 has a supported portion 115 formed by bending a flat plate-shaped upper surface portion.
背面側パネル部品１０８を前面側パネル部品１０７に取り付ける際は、背面側パネル部品１０８の被支持部１１５を座部１１３と抑え部１１４との間に挿入して支持させる。これにより、背面側パネル部品１０８を前面側パネル部品１０７に着脱自在に取り付けることができるため、通信光可視化アダプタや通信光検知回路の分解整備を容易に実施することが可能となる。 When attaching the rear panel component 108 to the front panel component 107, the supported portion 115 of the rear panel component 108 is inserted between the seat portion 113 and the restraining portion 114 to be supported. As a result, the rear panel component 108 can be detachably attached to the front panel component 107, so that the communication light visualization adapter and the communication light detection circuit can be easily disassembled and maintained.
給電部１０３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１１６を通じて給電ポート１０４に電気的且つ着脱自在に接続されている。これにより、光通信路における通信状況の目視確認を行う必要がある時にのみ給電をすることができるため、消費電力の削減に寄与することが可能となる。 The power supply unit 103 is composed of, for example, a portable battery or an outlet, and is electrically and detachably connected to the power supply port 104 through a power supply cord 116. As a result, power can be supplied only when it is necessary to visually check the communication status on the optical communication path, which can contribute to a reduction in power consumption.
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１０３を給電ポート１０４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夫々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 feeding unit 103 is electrically connected to the power feeding port 104, the communication status in each of the plurality of optical communication paths can be collectively collected without any work. 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せず、複数の通信光可視化アダプタ１０１を実装密度の高い並列配列で実装することができるため、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, it is not necessary to insert the communication light detector into the communication light visualization adapter 101, and a working space or an insertion space is not required. Since a plurality of communication light visualization adapters 101 can be mounted in a parallel array having a high mounting density, high density mounting of the communication light visualization adapters 101 can be realized.
