  • Cable construction containing optical fibers and reinforcement means
    Patent number: 5319730
    Abstract: A cable construction comprising at least one package (3) of fibre ribbons, which package consists of at least one fibre ribbon (4) comprising several parallel optical fibres (5) and a covering (6) joining them together, and at least one reinforcing member (7a) extending in the longitudinal direction of the cable. The package (3) of fibre ribbons is arranged in a cavity (2) with an elongated cross-section in the vertical direction such that the natural bending plane (A) of the fibre ribbon package (3) is substantially perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal plane (B) of the cavity. The reinforcing member (7a) is arranged in the cable construction in such a way that the bending plane (D) of the whole cable defined thereby also is substantially perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal plane (B) of the cavity.
