  • OPTICAL FIBER CABLES WITH POLYPROPYLENE BINDER
    Publication number: 20160103287
    Abstract: An optical fiber cable includes a bundle of a plurality of loose tubes held by a polypropylene binder. The polypropylene binder sustains the heat when a hot cable sheath is applied during the cable manufacturing process. This prevents the polypropylene binder from shrinking and cutting into the loose tubes, which cause indentations. Therefore, the resulting optical fiber cable is substantially free from indentations.

  • OPTICAL FIBER CABLES WITH POLYPROPYLENE BINDER
    Publication number: 20160103288
    Abstract: An optical fiber cable includes a bundle of a plurality of semi-ridged loose tubes held by a polypropylene binder. The polypropylene binder sustains the heat when a hot cable sheath is applied during the cable manufacturing process. This prevents the polypropylene binder from shrinking and cutting into the loose tubes, which cause indentations. Therefore, the resulting optical fiber cable is substantially free from indentations.

  • Optical fiber with water-blocking
    Patent number: 7899291
    Abstract: Polymer-coated transmission media having water-blocking material embedded in the outer surface of the transmission media prevents water penetration into the transmission media and reduces the overall diameter of a cable made from the transmission media by eliminating a water-blocking tape layer in the cable. The outer surface of the transmission media is a polymer whose outer surface is embedded with a water-blocking material. The water-blocking material is applied before the polymer is cured. The transmission media may be any known type of optical media, which guides a light within the optical media. In various embodiments, optical fibers, buffered optical fibers and fiber ribbons are used as the transmission media.
