| 20080232749 | Optical fiber cable - An optical fiber cable maintains an outer jacket, at least one optical fiber tube within the jacket and for each optical fiber tube, four optical fibers, arranged in a substantially squared arrangement. The optical fibers are linearly arranged along the length of the cable. The optical fibers are loosely arranged within the fiber tube in such a manner as to allow shifting of the straight optical fibers to conform to a bending of the cable, while being simultaneously constrained such that the straight arranged fibers do not become crossed-over or overlapped during bending. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080292253 | Flat design composite drop fiber cable with mid-span access capability - A fiber cable having a first fiber containing portion with a plurality of optional fibers disposed therein. A second strength portion is separable from the first fiber containing portion arranged in a substantially flat arrangement. The second strength portion is separatably coupled to the first fiber containing portion. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090129733 | Fiber optic cable design with improved compression test results - A multi-tight buffer fiber optic cable includes a first layer of tight buffer optical fibers and at least one second layer of tight buffer optical fibers surrounding the first layer of tight buffer optical fibers. A jacket surrounds the at least one second layer of tight buffer optical fibers, where the first layer of tight buffer optical fibers and the at least one second layer of tight buffer optical fibers are helically wound, and where the at least one second layer of tight buffer optical fibers are helically wound in the same direction as the first layer of tight buffer optical fibers and at substantially the same lay length. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090129734 | Loose tube optical fiber cable design and method for making the same - A loose tube fiber optic cable having at least one optical fiber, a loose tube surrounding the fiber, with the tube having an irregular inner surface. A water swellable powder is provided around the fiber and inside the tube, where the particles of the water swellable powder rest in the irregular inner surface of the tube. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090169159 | FLAT WIDE WATER SWELLABLE BINDER FOR OPTICAL FIBER TUBES - A multi-tube optical fiber cable includes a plurality of optical fiber tubes, each having one or more optical fibers loosely arranged therein. The optical fiber tubes are arranged within an outer jacket, where the tubes are constructed of a polymer having a low Young's constant modulus. A binder is arranged around the plurality of optical fiber tubes, where the binder is substantially flat in shape such that there is no deformation of the tube, when the binder is applied. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090263089 | Optical fiber cable - A fiber optic cable having a jacket, at least one tube and at least two fibers within the tube in a loose tube arrangement. The fibers within the tube have a fiber length differential substantially in the range of 0.01%-0.04%. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100329614 | COMPOSITE, OPTICAL FIBER, POWER AND SIGNAL TACTICAL CABLE - A composite cable includes at least two optical fiber components and at least one additional component. An irradiated crosslinked jacket surrounds the optical fiber component and the at least one additional component. A shield encloses at least the two optical fiber components within the jacket, where the shield protects the optical fibers from irradiation of the crosslinked jacket. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110013873 | FIBER OPTIC AERIAL DROP CABLE - A fiber optic cable has at least two round strength members, at least one fiber optic element, with the strength members and the fiber optic element forms a core. A jacket surrounds the core elements. The strength members are arranged side by side within the jacket such that the inside diameter of the jacket is substantially equal to the combined diameters of the two round strength members and where within the jacket there are two voids not filled by the round strength members. The at least one fiber optic element is positioned in one of the voids the round strength members is dimensioned such that when the fiber optic element is within the void, it does not reach the inside surface of the jacket. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110038586 | FIBER OPTIC CABLE DESIGN WITH CLEAR BUFFER TUBES - A fiber optic cable has at least one fiber and at least one buffer tube surrounding the fiber, with the fiber being loosely held within the buffer tube. A jacket surrounds the tube where the at least one buffer tube is constructed from an extruded transparent polymer, allowing the arrangement of the fiber within the buffer tube to be visible along the entire length of the tube. | 02-17-2011 |
