  • CABLE WITH FEATURES FOR DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN FIBER GROUPS
    Publication number: 20140093216
    Abstract: Micromodule subunit cables are constructed to allow for ease of identification between optical fibers in differing groups of optical fibers. In one cable, a first group of fibers is located within a buffer tube core while a second group of fibers is located within the cable jacket, but outside of the core. The fibers in the first and second groups can accordingly use the same color coding sequence without requiring additional indicia such as stripes or binding.
    Type: Application
