Abstract: It is intended to mount a large number of
switches together on a handle pipe and improve
operability. 
     Plural switches are arranged on columns
(L1 and L2) or on stages (S1 to S4) and an indicating and
warning switch group (15) having high urgency and frequency
of use is allocated to the column (L1) which is located
near a handle grip (14) and is also allocated to a stage(S2)
which is set on a horizontal line including a handle pipe
(1 p) and to stages (S1 and S3) which are adjacent above and
below the stage (S2). Relatively, an audio switch group(16)
and a switch group (17) for CB radio communication can be
allocated to positions remote from the handle grip (14),
thus resulting in that the degree of integration
increases as a whole. Consequently, not only the switch
panel surface can be utilized effectively, but also the
operability is improved.

Abstract: A transmission fiber for use in a Raman amplified optical communication
system is formed to exhibit certain characteristics that limit modulation instability and
four-wave mixing in the amplification region, thus reducing the noise component
present in the transmission system. In particular, the group-velocity dispersion (denoted
as D and measured in terms of ps/nm-km) is restricted to be either non-positive or
greater than +1.5ps/nm-km in the pump wavelength range of interest (a typical pump
wavelength range being 1430-1465nm). Preferably, the magnitude of the dispersion is
kept below a value of 10 ps/nm-km in the signal wavelength range of interest (e.g., the
"C" band or "L" band). Four-wave mixing is reduced by ensuring that the zero-dispersion
frequency of the transmission fiber is not centered between the pump
frequency and a frequency experiencing Raman gain.
