Filed:

Feb 10, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/351456

Inventors:

Jody L. Greenwood - Hickory NC, US
Keith H. Lail - Connelly Springs NC, US
David A. Seddon - Hickory NC, US
Randall Tuttle - Conover NC, US

Assignee:

Corning Cable Systems, LLC. - Hickory NC

International Classification:

G02B 6/44

US Classification:

385100, 385105, 385113

Abstract:

A fiber optic cable and a method of making the same include at least one optical waveguide, at least one dry insert and a cable jacket. The at least one optical waveguide and at least one dry insert are at least partially disposed within a cavity of the cable jacket. In one embodiment, the cable includes a first dry insert and a second dry insert disposed within the cavity so that the at least one optical waveguide is disposed between the first dry insert and the second dry insert.

Appl. No.:

13/845697

Inventors:

David Wesley Chiasson - Edmonton, CA
Randall Dwaine Tuttle - Conover NC, US

Assignee:

Corning Cable Systems LLC - Hickory NC

International Classification:

G02B 6/44

US Classification:

385100

Abstract:

Cables are constructed with embedded discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of polymer material coextruded in the cable jacket.

Appl. No.:

13/489867

Inventors:

Reginald Roberts - Taylorsville NC, US
Randall D. Tuttle - Connelly Springs NC, US

International Classification:

H01B 11/22

US Classification:

385101

Abstract:

A cable includes a channel with an aspect ratio that houses optical fibers therein. The cable includes first and second stranded conductors on opposing sides of the channel. The channel is arranged with respect to the stranded conductors so that the fibers assume low strain positions in the channel when the cable is bent.

International Classification:

G02B 6/44
B29C 47/06
B29D 11/00

US Classification:

385102, 264 128

Abstract:

Cables are constructed a jacket having an inner section within the cable jacket that facilitates access to the cable core, and which can be removed at the end of the cable during connectorization. The inner section is removed at the end of the cable to create a cavity in which fiber(s) in the cable core can buckle during connectorization to reduce strain on the fibers.

International Classification:

G02B 6/44

Abstract:

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber ribbon. The optical fiber ribbon includes optical fibers arranged in a row having a first width. Indicator fibers are provided at the edges of the row. The indicator fibers have different color fiber jackets. The optical fiber ribbon also includes a primary matrix into which the plurality of optical fibers is embedded. The optical fiber ribbon also includes an opacifying layer having a second width and a color layer, distinct from the opacifying layer, having a third width. The optical fiber ribbon further includes a layer of printing disposed on an outer surface of the primary matrix. In the optical fiber ribbon, the first width is greater than at least one of the second width or the third width such that the indicator fibers extend past at least one of the opacifying layer or the color layer.
