摘要:
A fiber optic cable includes a core and a binder film surrounding the core. The core includes a central strength member and core elements, such as buffer tubes containing optical fibers, where the core elements are stranded around the central strength member in a pattern of stranding including reversals in lay direction of the core elements. The binder film is in radial tension around the core such that the binder film opposes outwardly transverse deflection of the core elements.
摘要:
An optical communication cable includes a jacket, optical transmission elements, and armor. The jacket is mostly formed from a first material and includes an elongate member formed from a second material embedded in the first material. The jacket defines a channel in which the optical transmission elements are located. The armor includes a wrapped sheet having a lateral edge and is positioned around the optical transmission elements within the channel. The elongate member has an inner surface aligned with and located exterior to the lateral edge of the armor; and, when viewed in cross-section, the elongate member fully overlays and extends tangentially beyond the lateral edge. Accordingly, the elongate member provides an obstacle in the jacket that limits zippering through the jacket originating from the lateral edge. Further, the elongate member may double as a tear feature for quickly accessing contents of the cable interior to the jacket.
摘要:
Cables have armor including a polymer, the armor having an armor profile that resembles conventional metal armored cable. The armor provides additional crush and impact resistance for the optical fibers and/or fiber optic assembly therein. The armored cables recover substantially from deformation caused by crush loads. Additionally, the armored fiber optic assemblies can have any suitable flame and/or smoke rating for meeting the requirements of the intended space.
摘要:
An armored fiber optic cable includes fiber optic assembly, including at least one optical fiber, and dielectric armor in the form of an extruded polymeric tube surrounding the fiber optic assembly. The dielectric armor has at least one layer formed from a rigid material having a Shore D hardness of about 65 or greater. Further, the dielectric armor has an armor profile such that the dielectric armor has an undulating surface along its length.
摘要:
Cables are constructed with discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of material in the cable jacket. The discontinuities allow a section of the cable jacket to be pulled away from a remainder of the jacket using a relatively low peel force.
