Abstract:
1. A wiring device for optical fiber, comprising: a plug receptacle main body which is mountable in a mounting opening in an outer surface of a building; a receptacle for optical fiber attached to the plug receptacle main body and having a plug connection hole facing an outer surface side of the building at least at a used state and a plug connection portion into which a first optical-fiber plug attached to an optical fiber cable wired to the inside of the building is inserted and connected, and optically connecting the first optical-fiber plug connected to the plug connection portion and a second optical-fiber plug inserted from the outer surface side of the building through the plug connection hole; a rotatable retainer to which the receptacle for optical fiber is attached at the rear surface side thereof and rotatably supported to the plug receptacle main body so as to keep in either of a projected state forwardly projecting from the front part of the plug receptacle main body to face the plug connection hole toward the outside of the building or a received state in which the plug connection hole is received in the plug receptacle main body; and a pop-up mechanism including a presser that presses the rotatable retainer to the front side of the plug receptacle main body and a retainer that retains the received state, and projects the rotatable retainer to the front side of the plug receptacle main body by the pressing force of the presser when the retaining by the retainer is released, wherein a notch to insert the first optical fiber plug is formed at a portion of the plug receptacle main body which is located in the inserting direction of the first optical fiber plug inserted and connected to the plug connection portion.
