Patent number: 9459421Abstract: Described are cable designs adapted for aerial installations wherein the cable comprises a bundle of multifiber tight buffer encasement units, with a conformal thin skin containment layer surrounding the bundle. The multifiber tight buffer encasement units have an acrylate compliant inner layer that protects the fiber and minimizes stress transfer to the fiber; and a hard, tough acrylate outer layer that provides crush resistance. The thin skin containment layer provides cable integrity with a minimum of added size and weight. The thin skin containment layer encasement is encased in an outer protective jacket.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: OFS FITEL, LLCInventors: Carlton Gibbs, Mark G Graveston, Jason Pedder, Peter A Weimann

Publication number: 20160004025Abstract: Described is an improved optical fiber cable specially adapted for seismic sensing. Compared with standard optical fiber cable, this improved optical fiber cable is reduced in size, lighter, and more flexible. These characteristics make the optical fiber cable more robust for reusable applications. Due to modifications in the design of the optical fibers, the size and weight of the seismic sensing cable may be substantially reduced. That allows longer lengths of seismic sensing cable, and more seismic sensor boxes, to be reeled on a given sized reel, and makes deployment of the seismic sensing cable faster, easier, and less expensive. A preferred cable design for reaching these objectives comprises multiple optical fibers, of a design just described, encased in a dual-layer optical fiber buffer encasement of acrylate resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2013Publication date: January 7, 2016Applicant: OFS FITEL, LLCInventors: Stefan Jost, Jason Pedder, Heng Ly, Jacob Ulrik Petersen

Patent number: 7899291Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: OFS Fitel, LLCInventors: Daniel Bardroff, Stefan Jost, Georg Koebler, Jason Pedder, Karl Uhl, Peter A.
