Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
Structure for connecting overhead earth wires containing an optical fiber unit, said optical fiber unit being disposed in the center of a bundle of conductors, said structure comprising; connector means for connecting said overhead earth wires therein and adapted to be compressed against said conductors for mechanical and electrical connections; and protecting means for protecting said optical fiber unit from being deformed when said connector means is compressed, said protecting member being formed with a through hole to pass said optical fiber unit therethrough and on outer surface thereof with a plurality of longitudinal grooves to receive said conductors therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
