Flexible Optical Fiber Tape And Distribution Cable Assembly Using Same
US Patent:
2008018, Aug 7, 2008
Filed:
Feb 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/710322
Inventors:
Reginald Roberts - Taylorsville NC, US
Jorge Roberto Serrano - Tokyo, JP
Timothy Frederick Summers - Hickory NC, US
Jorge Roberto Serrano - Tokyo, JP
Timothy Frederick Summers - Hickory NC, US
International Classification:
G02B 6/44
US Classification:
385114
Abstract:
A flexible optical fiber tape is formed from a substrate in the form of a strip adapted to maintain at least one optical fiber. The substrate may include an adhesive layer on at least one side for securing the tape to an external surface such as an interior floor, wall or ceiling. The tape may also have a flame-retardant characteristic. The optical fiber can run substantially longitudinally along the substrate, or can have one or more curved sections that allow for bending the tape without a substantially bending the at least one optical fiber. The tape may also include one or more network access points (NAPs) adapted to allow for optical communication between at least one external optical fiber and the at least one optical fiber maintained by the substrate. A distribution cable based on the optical-fiber-based tape is also described.
Fiber Optic Cables That Are Separable For Optical Fiber Access
US Patent:

Assignee:
Corning Cable Systems LLC - Hickory NC
International Classification:
G02B 6/44
US Classification:
385100, 385102, 385103, 385105
Abstract:
A fiber optic cable includes a messenger section having at least one strength member, a carrier section having at least one optical fiber therein, and a common jacket that forms a common jacket. In one embodiment, the carrier jacket has a preferential tear portion adjacent to the at least one optical fiber with a substantially continuous outer surface in the carrier jacket adjacent to the preferential tear portion. The preferential tear portion may be defined by at least one of: at least one internal void, at least one weld line, and at least one wing extending from a tape disposed about the one or more optical fibers. Various alternatives are possible. For example, the carrier jacket may also or alternatively include at least one gripping area extending for enhancing the gripping of the carrier section when pulling apart the carrier section and messenger section.
Fiber Optic Cables Allowing Fiber Translation To Reduce Bend Attenuation
US Patent:
2012031, Dec 13, 2012
Filed:
Jun 6, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/489867
Inventors:
Reginald Roberts - Taylorsville NC, US
Randall D. Tuttle - Connelly Springs NC, US
Randall D. Tuttle - Connelly Springs NC, US
International Classification:
H01B 11/22
US Classification:
385101
Abstract:
A cable includes a channel with an aspect ratio that houses optical fibers therein. The cable includes first and second stranded conductors on opposing sides of the channel. The channel is arranged with respect to the stranded conductors so that the fibers assume low strain positions in the channel when the cable is bent.
Optical Usb Cable With Controlled Fiber Positioning
US Patent:
2011022, Sep 22, 2011
Filed:
Mar 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/049394
Inventors:
Reginald Roberts - Taylorsville NC, US
International Classification:
G02B 6/44
US Classification:
385101, 385113
Abstract:
Methods of controlling the position of an optical fiber having a minimum bend radius within an optical fiber channel in a fiber optic cable having a small footprint are disclosed. The position of the optical fibers is controlled so that the fiber is not bent at a radius below its minimum bend radius.
Fiber Optic Cable Having Armor With Easy Access Features
US Patent:

International Classification:
G02B 6/44
US Classification:
385107
Abstract:
The present disclosure is generally directed to a fiber optic cable including a cable core and an armor surrounding the cable core. The cable core has at least one optical fiber and the armor includes one or more lines of scoring extending along a longitudinal length of the armor, thereby creating a dedicated location for the craft to open the armor to access the cable core and optical fibers therein.
Cable Jacket With Variable Perimeter Bond
US Patent:

Assignee:
Corning Cable Systems LLC - Hickory NC
International Classification:
G02B 6/44
US Classification:
385107
Abstract:
The bond between an armor and a cable covering jacket is controlled by introducing intervening material at the interface of the layers along selected bond regions. The intervening material can comprise particulate matter or a strip of material introduced at selected locations of the armor perimeter to allow ease of access at the selected regions.
