20080199134 | System for identifying optical fibers and cables - An optical fiber or a cable can comprise marks that uniquely identify the fiber or cable and that facilitate tracing materials thereof back to manufacturing. The marks can extend lengthwise along the fiber or cable, for example from end-to-end. A user of the optical fiber or cable can make an identification from an end-on view. The marks can be encoded with information based on the number of marks, the widths of the individual marks, and/or the spacing between each mark. The marks can comprise a continuous barcode that is integrated into a material of the optical fiber or cable. The glassy material of a fiber optic preform can comprise an embedded set of enlarged marks, so that drawing optical fiber from the preform pulls marks of appropriate size into the fiber's cladding material. The marks can alternatively comprise encoded stripes extruded into a cable jacket. | 08-21-2008 |
20080204235 | Fiber optic cable with integral radio frequency identification system - A communication cable, such as an optical fiber cable, can comprise radio frequency identification (“RFID”) elements that facilitate locating and identifying the cable. The RFID elements can provide information about the cable from a remote location, for example when the cable is spooled in a warehouse, buried underground, suspended overhead, or installed in a cable tray. The RFID elements can be attached at defined locations along a plastic tape within the cable. Each RFID element can comprise an antenna that extends lengthwise along the tape and/or circuit traces or other components that are imprinted on the tape. Each RFID element can have a unique code or address, thereby providing a record of manufacturing parameters that are specific to that cable. Also, the unique code can be specific to an incremental length of cable. Accordingly, the RFID elements can yield information about each fiber segment of the cable. | 08-28-2008 |
20080205828 | Method and apparatus for disposing water absorbent material in a fiber optic cable - A fiber optic cable can comprise spheres or balls that are coated with a water absorbent material, such as a super absorbent polymer (“SAP”). The spheres can provide clean and efficient carriers for introducing SAP into the cable during manufacturing. The spheres can have a diameter in a range of 20 microns to 2.5 millimeters and can be disposed in the cable's interstitial spaces, for example between the cable's optical fibers and a surrounding buffer tube. The SAP material can adhere to the spheres as a cross-linked coating or via electrostatic charge, for example. Beyond absorbing any water that may enter the cable, the spheres can provide cushioning or mechanical protection for the optical fibers. When the cable receives stress, motion among the spheres can absorb the stress to shield the fibers from damage. | 08-28-2008 |
20080205830 | Method and apparatus for protecting optical fibers of a cable - A fiber optic cable can comprise loose spheres or balls disposed in the cable's interstitial spaces, for example between the cable's optical fibers and a surrounding buffer tube. The spheres can have a diameter in a range of 20 microns to 2.5 millimeters. The composition of the spheres can include a material that absorbs water, such as a super absorbent polymer (“SAP”). The SAP material can be distributed uniformly within each sphere. The spheres not only can provide a carrier to facilitate inserting SAP material in the cable during manufacturing, but also can cushion the cable's fibers when the cable is placed in service. When the cable receives stress, motion among the spheres can absorb the stress to shield the fibers from damage. | 08-28-2008 |
20080205832 | Fiber optic cable comprising improved filling material and method of fabrication - A fiber optic cable can comprise small spheres or balls disposed in the cable's interstitial spaces, for example between the cable's optical fibers and a surrounding buffer tube. The spheres can comprise foam rubber, closed-cell or open-cell porous polymer, or some other soft material. Typical diameters for the spheres can be in a range of 1 to 2.5 millimeters. A soft composition of the spheres can cushion the optical fibers and physically impede water ingress into the cable. Additional fiber protection can arise from the ability of the loose spheres to rotate individually, in a ball-bearing effect. Thus, sphere-to-sphere motion can absorb physical stresses associated with bending, twisting, bumping, and stretching the cable during installation, thereby shielding the fibers from damage. | 08-28-2008 |
