摘要:
The specification relates to a fiber optic cable assembly. The fiber optic cable assembly includes: an outer jacket, the outer jacket being made from polyethylene; a pull material, the pull material being made from aramid and water blocking fibers; a push body, the push body being made from a rigid material so that the fiber optic cable assembly can be pushed without bending; and at least one fiber optic fiber.

A closure (15) is installed at a network distribution point to facilitate upgrading a subscriber network (10) to extend optical fibers closer to the subscribers (18). The closure (15) may include active equipment to convert optical signals to electrical signals. The closure (15) enables a plug-and-play connection to the active equipment to facilitate installing and/or upgrading active equipment at the closure (15). The closure (15) also is expandable to enable drop cables (or other optical cable) to be routed from the closure (15) towards the subscribers (18).

A fiber optic drop terminal assembly includes a housing, a spool and a fiber optic distribution cable. The housing has a first exterior surface and an oppositely disposed second exterior surface. A plurality of ruggedized adapters is mounted on the first exterior surface of the housing. The ruggedized adapters include a first port accessible from outside the housing and a second port accessible from inside the housing. The spool is engaged with the second exterior surface and includes a drum portion. The fiber distribution cable is coiled around the drum portion. The distribution cable includes a first end and an oppositely disposed second end. The second end is disposed inside the housing.

A fiber optic cable includes core elements, a composite film surrounding the core elements, and a jacket surrounding the composite film. The core elements include one or more optical fibers and at least one tube surrounding the one or more optical fibers. The composite film includes a first layer adjoining a second layer, where the composition of the second layer differs from the first. The composite film is relatively thin, having an average thickness over a 10-meter length of the cable that is less than half an average thickness of the jacket over the 10-meter length.

Communication device connection assemblies are described. The sealable connection assemblies are configured to provide water-tight connections for various data transmission elements, including cables, network devices, and computing devices. The connection assemblies may be used for various data transmission protocols, such as fiber optic connections. A compression element of the connection assembly may be configured to engage and compress a sealing element against a communication cable extending through the sealable connection assembly when a tension element is coupled to the inner body, thereby forming a seal between the sealable element and the communication cable. The connection assemblies may include a retainer body configured to form a grip or retention force with a communication cable sufficient to reduce and/or eliminate any forces on the communication cable (i.e., bending and/or straight pull forces) from being transferred to and/or otherwise effecting other components of the connection assembly, such as sealing elements thereof.

This element includes a plurality of longitudinal carbon fiber filaments (52) and a polymeric matrix (50) receiving the filaments (52) for binding them together, the matrix (50) forming a ribbon intended to be wound around a longitudinal body of the flexible line. The armor element (42) includes at least one optical fiber (54) received in the matrix (50), the optical fiber (54) having an elongation at break of more than 2%, as measured with the ASTM-D 885-03 standard.
摘要:
A fiber optic ribbon cable includes a jacket of the cable, the jacket having a cavity defined therein, an optical element including an optical fiber and extending within the cavity of the jacket, and a dry water-blocking element extending along the optical element within the cavity. The dry water-blocking element is wrapped around the optical element with at least a portion of the dry water-blocking element disposed between another portion of the dry water-blocking element and the optical element, thereby defining an overlapping portion of the dry water-blocking element. The optical element interfaces with the overlapping portion to provide direct or indirect coupling between the optical element and the jacket.
摘要:
A fiber optic cable includes a tube, a stack of fiber optic ribbons twisting along a lengthwise axis through the tube, and water-blocking tape positioned at least partially around the stack, between the stack and the tube. The water-blocking tape is folded such that an elevated portion of the water-blocking tape is raised. As the stack twists along the lengthwise axis of the tube, corners of the stack interface with the elevated portion to provide intermittent frictional coupling between the stack and the tube.
摘要:
A fiber optic cable assembly includes a distribution cable and a tether cable. The distribution cable includes a jacket having a generally flat profile such that the periphery of the distribution cable, when viewed in cross-section, includes two major surfaces of the jacket that are generally flat and are connected by arcuate end surfaces of the jacket. The jacket defines a cavity therein. Further, the distribution cable includes strength members embedded in the jacket and positioned on opposing sides of the cavity. The distribution cable includes a plurality of optical fibers extending through the cavity. The tether cable includes an optical fiber that is fusion spliced to one of the optical fibers of the distribution cable by way of an opening in a side of the jacket of the distribution cable.
