[0080] First Embodiment: Marking the Cable

[0081] The presence of moisture is particularly detrimental to optical fibers, so optical fibers usually include flexible layers or materials, films or ribbons ( Figure 4 26 in ), they generally include an absorbent polymer and polyester backing material between the core and the outer sheath, which absorbs any water that attempts to penetrate the sheath layer. The flexible material expands when it absorbs water, having the effect that the longitudinal path along the remainder of the cable is blocked preventing further ingress of water. During manufacture of the cable, the water-swellable tape is typically applied around the core by winding it such that the edges of the tape overlap in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable.

[0082] In the present invention, the cable also includes a flat embedded RFID transponder or tag 28 that includes an antenna 27 and an ASIC chip or integrated chip (IC) 29 . The label is ...

Abstract

A method of forming a cable comprising an elongate core, comprising positioning a records component proximate to the elongate core, and covering the records component with a cable covering which directly or indirectly urges the records component against the elongate core.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to equipment, systems and methods for managing, identifying and tracking physical assets such as equipment and equipment. The invention relates particularly, but not exclusively, to asset management of pipes or cables etc. using tagging technology, in particular by radio frequency identification. [0002] Implementation of the invention will now be discussed in the context of a telecommunications network, although it should be understood that the invention may be deployed in any type of network or system. In fact, the invention need not be implemented in the context of a network or system at all, as it can also be effectively deployed for individual items of equipment, equipment, or other physical items. Background technique [0003] As can be expected, a telecommunications network of any geographic extent will include a number of various physical assets. A national network such as that managed and operated by the applic...
