  • Flame-retardant cable tubing bundle
    Patent number: 5563975
    Abstract: A flame-retardant optical fiber cable tubing bundle which can be vertically mounted in the shaft of a building comprised of a plurality of tubes; a first thermoplastic layer surrounding the tubes; and, a tape wrapped spirally along the longitudinal axis of the first thermoplastic layer. A second thermoplastic layer surrounds the tape. A method for complying with the UL 1666 fire test procedure for a cable tubing bundle intended for vertical installation includes the steps of liquefying a cross-sectional area of a thermoplastic layer of the cable tubing bundle; forcing the flow of the liquified thermoplastic inwardly to the center of the cable tubing bundle; and, charring the liquified thermoplastic to form a cross-sectional area of solid material in the interior of the cable tubing bundle.
