摘要： The invention is a cable assembly in which the ripcord is bonded or woven to the cable assembly's armor tape. This arrangement helps to prevent the ripcords from moving from their initial position, therefore allowing better dissection of a cable sheath and/or jacket. The cable assembly includes a cable core (e.g., soft buffer tubes surrounding optical fibers), a tape surrounding the cable core, at least one ripcord attached to the tape, and a cable jacket surrounding the tape. In a second embodiment of the present invention, a cable assembly includes a cable core having a predetermined axial length, a cable jacket for housing the cable core along the predetermined axial length of the cable core, and a ripcord disposed between the cable core and the cable jacket along the predetermined axial length, in a manner that the ripcord is contained within the predetermined axial length, but the ripcord has a length substantially longer that the predetermined axial length. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ripcord is disposed along the predetermined axial length in a wavy shape, thus the ripcord is made “flexible”, alleviating damage to the cable assembly that can occur from ripcord tension.

摘要翻译： 本发明是一种电缆组件，其中，拉索被粘接或编织到电缆组件的铠装带上。 这种布置有助于防止拉索从其初始位置移动，因此允许更好地解剖电缆护套和/或护套。 电缆组件包括电缆芯（例如，围绕光纤的软缓冲管），围绕电缆芯的带，连接到带的至少一个撕裂带和围绕带的电缆护套。 在本发明的第二实施例中，电缆组件包括具有预定轴向长度的电缆芯，用于沿着电缆芯的预定轴向长度容纳电缆芯的电缆护套，以及设置在电缆芯和 电缆护套沿着预定的轴向长度，以这种方式使得拉索被包含在预定的轴向长度内，但是拉索具有比预定轴向长度大得多的长度。 在本发明的一个优选实施例中，沿着预定的轴向长度以波浪形状布置了拉线，因此使拉线变得“柔性”，减轻了可能由拉线张力引起的电缆组件的损坏。
