Patent number: 11508496Abstract: Disclosed is an opto-electric cable including one or more electrical conductors. Each conductor includes an electrically conductive core and an electrically insulating layer surrounding it. The cable also includes an optical unit embedded within one of the electrically conductive cores. The optical unit includes at least two optical fibers and a single buffer jointly surrounding all the optical fibers. Each optical fiber includes a core, a cladding and a coating. Since all the optical fibers of the optical unit are jointly surrounded—and protected—by a single buffer, an optical unit with a reduced size is obtained. This allows reducing the cross section of the electrical conductor in which the optical unit is arranged. In particular, electrical conductors with cross section lower than 10 mm2 are obtained.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: PRYSMIAN S.p.A.Inventors: Florin Chirita, Vili Popescu, Cristian Gheorghe, Baris Sönmez

Patent number: 11016256Abstract: A flame-retardant optical cable is disclosed which includes a polymeric central loose tube housing optical fibres, a metallic armour surrounding the polymeric central loose tube, and a multi-layered sheath surrounding and in direct contact with the metallic armour. The multi-layered sheath includes an inner layer, an intermediate layer, and an outer layer, all made of a LSoH flame-retardant material. The LSoH flame-retardant material of the intermediate layer has a limiting oxygen index (LOI) higher than the LOI of the LSoH flame-retardant material of the inner layer and of the outer layer. Such cable has improved flame-retardant properties, particularly in terms of slowing flame propagation, heat release, droplets and emission of smokes, when it is exposed to flames during fire.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: PRYSMIAN S.P.A.Inventors: Zekeriya Sirin, Baris Soenmez

Patent number: 10996413Abstract: A fire-resistant optical fibre cable includes a core having a central strength member and buffer tubes arranged around the central strength member. Each buffer tube contains optical fibres. A mica layer is arranged around the core. A glass yarn layer surrounds and is in direct contact with the mica layer. Metal armour surrounds the glass yarn layer. A multi-layered sheath surrounds and is in direct contact with the armour. The sheath includes a first layer, a second layer surrounding and in contact with the first layer, and a third layer in a radial inner position with respect to the first layer and in direct contact thereto. The first, second and third layers are made of LS0H flame-retardant material. The LS0H material of the first layer has an LOI higher than the LOI of the LS0H material of the second and third layers. The second layer is the cable outermost layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2020Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Prysmian S.p.A.Inventors: Zekeriya Sirin, Baris Sönmez, Can Altingoz
