  • Fiber optic cable design with improved compression test results
    Patent number: 8737788
    Abstract: A multi-tight buffer fiber optic cable includes a first layer of tight buffer optical fibers and at least one second layer of tight buffer optical fibers surrounding the first layer of tight buffer optical fibers. A jacket surrounds the at least one second layer of tight buffer optical fibers, where the first layer of tight buffer optical fibers and the at least one second layer of tight buffer optical fibers are helically wound, and where the at least one second layer of tight buffer optical fibers are helically wound in the same direction as the first layer of tight buffer optical fibers and at substantially the same lay length.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2014
    Assignee: Nexans
