    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of an optical fiber ribbon. In the optical fiber ribbon, subunits each include a subunit coating surrounding at least one optical fiber. Bonds are intermittently formed between adjacent subunits. Each bond has a unique longitudinal position along a length of the optical fiber ribbon such that no other bond is located at the unique longitudinal position. Each optical fiber includes a core region, a cladding region surrounding the core region, a primary coating surrounding the cladding region, and a secondary coating surrounding the primary coating. The cladding region defines a glass diameter in a range from 90 microns to 110 microns, and the secondary coating defines an outer diameter of 140 microns to 170 microns. The cladding region has a depressed index region comprising a trench volume of -20 %Δ-micron2.

    Abstract: A system for maintaining relative position of separate fibers is provided. The system comprises a fiber holder and fibers extending parallel along a Z-axis. The fibers include a first and second fiber, both having a coating and a core section. The fiber holder has a first and second alignment slots. The first alignment slot defines a first recess in a first surface of the fiber holder. The first recess is configured to receive the first fiber therein to provide frictional resistance to the first fiber. The second alignment slot defines a second recess in the first surface. The second recess is configured to receive the second fiber therein to provide frictional resistance to the second fiber. The first alignment slot is positioned in a fixed spaced apart manner from the second alignment slot to maintain at least a relative position of the first fiber and the second fiber.

    Abstract: Provided are embodiments of an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a cable jacket having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface defines a central cable bore, and the outer surface defines an outermost surface of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable also includes a cable core disposed in the central cable bore. The cable core includes a plurality of multicore optical fibers and a cross-sectional area. The plurality of multicore optical fibers fill at least 50% of the cross-sectional area of the cable core. Each multicore optical fiber of the plurality of multicore optical fibers has an inner glass region having a plurality of core regions surrounded by a common outer cladding. The cable core has a core region density that is at least 40 core regions/mm2.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are walk behind grinding tools with horizontally aligned guides and grinding drum. One embodiment relates to a grinding tool with a pair of guides on opposing sides of a blade set of a grinding drum, where the pair of guides is configured to limit a grinding depth of the grinding drum. At least a portion of a guide curvature is generally concentric with a mill curvature, and a guide radius is less than a mill radius. Another embodiment relates to a grinding system including a grinding tool with a vacuum shroud hingedly attached to a front of a main body of a grinding housing, and a vacuum including a vacuum tube in fluid communication with the vacuum shroud. Another embodiment relates to a method of forming a grinding tool.

    Abstract: An optical fiber cable that includes subunits is provided. Optical fiber cables are used to transmit data over distance. The subunits are twisted and stranded within the cable to reduce degradation of stranding during use of the cable. The subunits of one or more optical fiber cables are arranged in complimentary configurations that counteract their varying asymmetrical forces to provide an improved handling performance for the optical fiber cable.
