    摘要: An all dielectric self-supporting fiber optic communication cable for use between spaced-apart support towers of an electrical power transmission network. A central core including at least one optical fiber is surrounded by a layer of non-conductive stranded strength members that are wound about the core. The core includes a plurality of pliable buffer tubes, each of which houses a bundle of optical fibers. The buffer tubes are helically wound about a cylindrical element in order to provide temperature performance by preventing the buffer tubes from experiencing thermally induced movement when exposed to varying temperatures. Each of the stranded strength members comprises a bundle of non-conducting filaments or fibers that are encapsulated by individual polyethylene jackets. The stranded strength members are helically wound about the central core. An outer protective jacket is formed about the stranded strength members and encloses the entire cable.

    摘要: A fiber optic groundwire or static cable for use between spaced-apart support towers of an electrical power transmission network, for ground fault protection from lightning strikes and other electrical faults, with an integral fiber optic telecommunications bundle. A bundle of optical fibers tightly enclosed by a pliable thremally insulating strain jacket is firmly affixed into a helically-wound channel within an electrically conductive core. At least one layer of stranded electrical conductors serving as strength members completely surrounds the core. The tight jacketing of the optical fibers by a pliable strain jacket, combined with the firm mounting of the strain jacket within the helical channel of the core, reduces the axial tensional forces on the optical fibers that occur during and after installation of the cable. Also, the cable provides improved fault current carrying capability by utilizing a strain jacket made from a high temperature and thermally insulating silicone-based or ethylene propylene-based material. Because the fiber optic bundles are tight buffered in the strain jacket and the strain jacket is tightly affixed in the channels of the core rather than in loose in the strain jacket, the cable accommodates more optical fibers per unit area of channel than prior art "loose tube" construction, which allow the fibers to move relative to one another and relative to the cable core.

    摘要: An all dielectric self-supporting fiber optic communication cable for use between spaced-apart support towers of an electrical power transmission network. A central core including at least one optical fiber is surrounded by a layer of non-conductive stranded strength members that are wound about the core. The core includes a plurality of pliable buffer tubes, each of which houses a bundle of optical fibers. The buffer tubes are helically wound about a cylindrical element in order to provide temperature performance by preventing the buffer tubes from experiencing thermally induced movement when exposed to varying temperatures. Each of the stranded strength members comprises a bundle of non-conducting filaments or fibers that are formed about a reinforcing element and encapsulated by individual polyethylene jackets. The reinforcing element reduces the tendency of the filaments to compress as the extruded jacket cures. The stranded strength members are helically wound about the central core. An outer protective jacket is formed about the stranded strength members and encloses the entire cable. A faraday shield formed along the outer jacket brings the electric field to zero in the vicinity of the outer jacket, thus reducing or eliminating tracking currents along the surface of the outer jacket.

    摘要: The present invention is directed toward an optic static wire assembly comprising a central core which has one or more helical channels in its periphery. One or more tubes containing a dielectric water-blocking compound and one or more optical fibers are positioned in the channels. The tubes are coated with a thermal insulation material, and then a heat reflective material. The optical fibers are randomly arranged within the tubes in such a way that tensile stresses on the cable are not transmitted to them. Finally, the assembly formed by the core and the tube or tubes is wrapped with a serving of metal wires. In one embodiment, the core and tubes may be wrapped with a tape layer before the outer metal wires are applied. Any interstices among the core, the tube or tubes, and tape may also be filled with another dielectric water-blocking compound.

    摘要: A personal fall protection system for securing a worker to an elevated and exposed structure defining a work area is disclosed. The fall protection system includes a safety belt supported on the worker's body with a body harness. The safety belt includes two belt couplings movable in a channel around the belt, each adapted to be attached to a lanyard. Two spaced apart rails are mounted adjacent opposite side limits of the structure. A movable anchor for securing the end of a lanyard is mounted to each rail. A lanyard ties off the worker at each belt coupling to an anchor. The fall protection system thereby secures the worker to both sides of the structure while allowing the worker to rotate relative to the lanyards within the work area and move freely forward and backwards throughout the work area between the rails.
