摘要： A fiber optic cable including a cable core having at least one optical fiber and a ripcord. In one embodiment, the ripcord is a conductive material operative, upon application of a sufficient pulling force, to rip at least one cable component for facilitating access to said at least one optical fiber. In other embodiments, the ripcord is formed from a semi-conductive material, the ripcord is removably attached to at least one cable component, and/or the ripcord has an excess length.

摘要： A fiber optic cable including at least one tube assembly therein. The tube assembly includes an optical fiber ribbon stack in a tube. The optical fiber ribbon stack comprises optical fiber ribbons arranged at least partially in a gradually decreasing optical fiber count profile. A diagonal free space of the tube assembly being about 0.5 mm to about 5 mm. The diagonal free space is defined as the tube inner diameter minus the maximum diagonal length of the ribbon stack. The maximum diagonal length of the ribbon stack being the greater of either a diagonal measurement across lateral subgroups of the ribbon stack or a diagonal measurement across a major dimension of a medial subgroup of the ribbon stack.

摘要： A fiber optic cable having at least one interface being formed by a plurality of adjacent support members. Adjacent the interface is at least one retention area having an optical fiber component disposed therein. The retention area is disposed generally longitudinally and non-helically relative to an axis of the cable. The cable can also include a cable jacket substantially surrounding the support members, a cushioning zone adjacent the optical fiber component, a water-blocking component and/or an interfacial layer at least partially disposed between an outer surface of the support members and the cable jacket.

摘要： A dry insert is disclosed that is suitable for use in an optical waveguide assembly. The dry insert includes a compressible layer and at least one reinforcing element that are attached together. The compressible layer having a modulus of elasticity in a longitudinal direction of the dry insert and the reinforcing element having a modulus of elasticity in the longitudinal direction, where the modulus of elasticity of the at least one reinforcing element is greater than the modulus of elasticity of the compressible layer for inhibiting a longitudinal stretching of the dry insert under a tensile load. In one embodiment, the dry insert has a strain of about 1 percent or less along the longitudinal direction when a tensile load of about 10 Newtons is applied. Various modifications and options for the dry insert are possible.
