20090041414 | Method for Accessing Optical Fibers within a Telecommunication Cable - Disclosed is a method accessing one or more optical fibers in a telecommunication cable in a way that considerably reduces the risk of damaging the optical fibers. To avoid inadvertent damage caused by a cutting tool, the method includes moving optical fibers and/or micromodules away from the area on the cable that is to be cut. | 02-12-2009 |
20090297107 | Optical Fiber Telecommunication Cable - The invention relates to a flat telecommunication cable in which optical fibers are positioned within micromodules. The micromodules are coupled to a surrounding, ribbon-like cable jacket, thereby preventing the micromodules from sagging within the cable during vertical installations. The invention also relates to a method of extracting optical fibers from such a cable. | 12-03-2009 |
20100150505 | Buffered Optical Fiber - A buffered optical fiber structure includes an optical fiber, a mechanical reinforcement member extending along the optical fiber, a protective sheath having a cavity containing the optical fiber and the mechanical reinforcement member, and an intermediate material contacting the protective sheath and surrounding the optical fiber and the mechanical reinforcement member. | 06-17-2010 |
20100215328 | Cable Having Lubricated, Extractable Elements - The invention relates to a cable ( | 08-26-2010 |
20100266249 | Telecommunication Optical Fiber Cable - A telecommunication optical fiber cable possesses a longitudinal central cavity that receives micromodules of optical fibers positioned in parallel. A jacket surrounds the central cavity and a sheath is positioned on the inner periphery of the jacket. A lubricant is provided in the central cavity. | 10-21-2010 |
20110069932 | High-Fiber-Density Optical-Fiber Cable - Disclosed is an improved optical fiber possessing a novel coating system. When combined with a bend-insensitive glass fiber, the novel coating system according to the present invention yields an optical fiber having exceptionally low losses. | 03-24-2011 |
20110091171 | Optical-Fiber Cable Having High Fiber Count and High Fiber Density - Disclosed is a reduced-diameter optical-fiber cable that possesses a high fiber count and a high cable fiber density. | 04-21-2011 |
20110103754 | BUFFERED OPTICAL FIBER AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLE - A buffered optical fiber ( | 05-05-2011 |
20110197732 | CUTTER TOOL AND A METHOD OF MAKING A BRANCH CONNECTION WITH AT LEAST ONE OPTICAL FIBER OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLE - A cutter tool for cutting at least one optical fiber arranged freely in a cavity of a telecommunications cable, the tool including a cutting element and a tube, the cutting element being adapted to form a snare around at least one optical fiber to be cut, the snare providing two strands of filament adapted to be introduced in the tube, and the tool enabling an optical fiber branch connection to be made over a long distance through an existing tapping window. | 08-18-2011 |
20120057833 | Optical-Fiber Module Having Improved Accessibility - The present invention relates to optical-fiber modules having improved accessibility. In a typical embodiment, the optical-fiber module includes one or more optical fibers surrounded by an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer typically includes a polymeric medium with a liquid lubricant dispersed therein. A buffer tube encloses the optical fibers and the intermediate layer. | 03-08-2012 |
20120213483 | Optical-Fiber Interconnect Cable - An optical-fiber interconnect cable includes one or more optical fibers and one or more electrical conductors surrounded by an outer jacket. The optical fibers, such a multimode optical fibers, are typically enclosed within a flexible polymeric tube to form a flexible subunit. | 08-23-2012 |
