    摘要: An apparatus to be introduced into a conduit includes a cable and a fabric sleeve which extends longitudinally along the cable. The sleeve is secured around the cable by complimentary connectors which extend outwardly from the edges of the sleeve. The connectors can take the form of many configurations including a hook and slot, a ball and socket, a hook and loop, and zipper teeth, among others.

    摘要: A communications cable (11) is provided with a pliant sleeve (12, 21, 31) to allow it to be more easily inserted into a conduit. One form of the sleeve (12) has hook (14) and loop (15) connected to each other so that the sleeve (12) can engage the cable (11). Another form of the sleeve (21) is spring-loaded to engage the cable (11). In a third form of the sleeve (31) has an adhesive (33) which attaches the sleeve (31) to the cable (11).

    摘要: A duct for insertion into a conduit or to be buried in the ground includes a sheet of material having complementary connectors on its edges. The sheet may be corrugated and after a cable is placed adjacent to it, the connectors are connected to form the duct with the cable therein. Alternatively, the sheet may be horseshoe shaped and the cable inserted between its edges to be confined therein after the connectors connect with each other.

    摘要: A fabric wrapped cable is formed by positioning adhesive on opposed layers of fabric. A cable is positioned between those layers and the layers are attached by attaching the adhesive of one layer to the adhesive of the other layer. In forming the wrapped cable in such a manner, the cable is provided with at least one wing.

    摘要: A device to be inserted into a conduit includes at least one tube intended to receive optic fibers or micro fiber optic cables therein. A jacket surrounds the tube. In an embodiment where there are a plurality of tubes, they are loosely aligned within the jacket. In another embodiment, opposed surfaces of the jacket are attached to each other to form compartments for each tube. In still another embodiment, the jacket holds the tubes generally in a bundle. The jacket of a tube may also be attached to one or more innerducts, each of which can receive a fiber optic cable. Alternatively, an innerduct may be attached to two jackets each of which carry a tube therein.
