  • Jog zone free fiber optic coil
    Patent number: 7626762
    Abstract: A fiber optic coil assembly and a method of winding the same include a fiber optic coil configured to eliminate a jog zone, which is found in conventionally fiber optic coil assemblies and tends to weaken the coil. The fiber optic coil assembly includes at least two layers of coil. A first layer is cylindrically wound in a first rotational direction and in a first linear direction and includes coil diameters located substantially parallel to one another and extending over the first linear direction. A first lead portion extends from an end of the first layer through an opening defined by the wound first layer. A second layer is formed in a similar manner as the first layer, except it is wound in an opposite rotational direction. Additional layers may be included consistent with the winding process of the first or the second layer, respectively.
