摘要:
Disclosed are structures and methods for active optic cable (AOC) assembly having improved thermal characteristics. In one embodiment, an AOC assembly includes a fiber optic cable having a first end attached to a connector with a thermal insert attached to the housing for dissipating heat from the connector. The AOC assembly can dissipate a suitable heat transfer rate from the active components of the connector such as dissipating a heat transfer rate of 0.75 Watts or greater from the connector. In one embodiment, the thermal insert is at least partially disposed under the boot of the connector. In another embodiment, at least one component of the connector has a plurality of fins. Other AOC assemblies may include a connector having a pull tab for dissipating heat from the assembly.

A fiber optic cable includes an optical fiber, strength components disposed on opposite sides of the optical fiber, and a polymeric cable jacket. The optical fiber includes a glass core, a glass cladding, and a polymer coating. The cable jacket surrounds the optical fiber and the strength components. Further, the cable jacket is tightly drawn onto the optical fiber, where excess fiber length of the optical fiber is such that positive strain is present in the optical fiber at room temperature (25° C.).

Suspension clamps for fiber optic cables having a preferential bend are disclosed. The suspension clamp includes a body having a clamping region with a first radius R1 adjacent to the clamping region and a second radius R2 adjacent to the first radius R1 where the first radius is greater than the second radius R2. In one embodiment, the suspension clamp is formed from an first (upper) portion having an attachment structure and a second (lower) portion where the body is generally symmetric about the clamping region.

摘要:
A fiber optic cable comprises a core subassembly comprising at least one optical fiber and a tube surrounding the optical fiber. A multi-layered jacket surrounds the core subassembly, wherein the jacket comprises an inner layer comprising a flame retardant (FR) material and an outer layer comprising a non flame retardant material having a lower coefficient of friction than the flame retardant material. A method of manufacturing an optical fiber cable includes providing a core subassembly and co-extruding a multi-layered jacket around the core subassembly, wherein the multi-layered jacket includes an inner layer comprising a flame retardant (FR) material and an outer layer comprising a non flame retardant material having a lower coefficient of friction than the flame retardant.
