example 1

[0038] Figure 1 to Figure 2 The fiber optic assembly 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 is formed of twelve flame retardant fiber optic subunit cables 100 . The subunit cable 100 is a single fiber optic cable with SZ twisted together. The fiber optic assembly 10 has minimal bends so that it can fold up on itself ( Figure 5 ), and have a tensile strength of at least 300 lbs. A pair of outer wraps 110 , 114 made of polyester are twisted in reverse helical shape around the outer layers 130 of the nine subunit cables 100 . The inner wrap 118 is wound helically around the inner layers 120 of the three inner subunit cables 100 . Each subunit cable 100 has a diameter of 2.9 mm. The cable diameter CD is 11.1 mm. Fiber optic assembly 10 has no outer jacket or central strength member. The tensile rating for each subunit fiber optic cable is 50 lbs. The fiber safe stress for the inner three subunit cables 100 is 200 kpsi and for the outer nine subunit cables 100 is 100 kpsi. The higher t...

Abstract

Fiber optic assemblies include subunit cables wrapped in binders. The assemblies have small cross sections and low bend radii while maintaining acceptable attenuation losses. SZ stranding of the subunit cables allows ease of access to the individual cables during installation.

Description

[0001] previous application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 104,142, filed October 9, 2008, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 245,420, filed September 24, 2009, the entire contents of said U.S. Provisional Application Incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] In general, the present application relates to fiber optic assemblies having relatively low bend radii and relatively low cross-sectional areas. Background technique [0004] Communication networks are used to transmit various signals, such as voice, video, data, and so on. Because communication applications require greater bandwidth, communication networks have switched to fiber optic cables, which are capable of transmitting extremely large amounts of bandwidth compared to copper wires. At the same time, fiber optic cables are much smaller and lighter than copper cables with the same bandwidth capacity. However, ordinary fiber optic cables may ...
