Abstract: A method of removing a tight buffer coating from an optical fiber involves positioning an end section of the optical fiber next to an end of a tube, with at least a portion of the the end section including a primary coating and the tight buffer coating. The tube has an inner diameter greater than an outer diameter of the primary coating and an outer diameter less than an outer diameter of the tight buffer coating. The method also involves applying energy to heat the tight buffer coating, inserting the end section of the optical fiber into the tube so that the tight buffer coating contacts the end of the tube, and advancing the end section of the optical fiber along the tube. The tube removes the tight buffer coating from the primary coating as the end section of the optical fiber is advanced.

Abstract: An optical cable is provided. The optical cable includes a tubular, elongate body having an inner surface defining a cavity extending between first and second ends of the elongate body and an optical transmission element located with the cavity. The optical cable includes a coupling or bonding structure non-permanently and non-rigidly joining the outer surface of the optical transmission element to the elongate body at a plurality of periodic contact zones such that relative movement between the optical transmission element and the elongate body is resisted.

Abstract: An optical communication cable and related systems and methods are provided. The cable includes an adhesion control material between a reinforcement sheet and a cable jacket. The adhesion control material includes a carrier fluid and a particulate material dispersed in the carrier fluid. The method includes extruding a polymer material over the wrapped sheet of reinforcement material to form a cable jacket, and the adhesion control material is located between an outer surface of the wrapped reinforcement sheet and an inner surface of the cable jacket.
