  • High count telecommunication optical cable with controlled fiber length method and apparatus for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 7200307
    Abstract: A telecommunication optical cable has a number of optical fibers; at least a microsheath loosely containing the optical fibers, the at least one microsheath loosely containing the optical fibers therein forming at least one corresponding microbundle, wherein the optical fibers are stranded according to an open helix trajectory.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for manufacturing an optical fibre cable and cable so manufactured
    Patent number: 6827884
    Abstract: Undesired and unforeseeable shrinkage may occur in a tube of plastic material containing optical fibres following its manufacture, especially during storage when the tube is wound on a reel. As a result, there may be uncontrollable variations of the ratio between length of the tube and length of the optical fibre contained therein (“excess fibre variation”). A method and equipment for limiting the excess fibre variations in a plastic tube, by stretching the tube by a predefined amount during manufacturing are described. The present invention also relates to a plastic tube subjected to a predefined stretching, a cable made of such a tube and the equipment suitable for manufacturing such a tube.
