| 20130051743 | FIBER OPTIC CABLES WITH ACCESS FEATURES AND METHODS OF MAKING FIBER OPTIC CABLES - Cables are constructed with extruded discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of material in the cable jacket. | 02-28-2013 |
| 20130058614 | OPTICAL FIBER CABLES HAVING REVERSAL POINT BANDING AND METHODS OF MAKING THEREOF - Discrete bands ( | 03-07-2013 |
| 20130094823 | FIBER OPTIC CABLES WITH EXTRUDED ACCESS FEATURES FOR ACCESS TO A CABLE CAVITY - Cables are constructed with embedded discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of polymer material coextruded in the cable jacket. | 04-18-2013 |
| 20130108226 | ARMORED CABLES HAVING ARMOR, BUFFER TUBE, AND JACKET ACCESS FEATURES | 05-02-2013 |
| 20130216192 | FIBER OPTIC CABLES WITH ACCESS FEATURES - Cables are constructed with discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of material in the cable jacket. The discontinuities allow a section of the cable jacket to be pulled away from a remainder of the jacket using a relatively low peel force. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20140029902 | FIBER OPTIC CABLES WITH ACCESS FEATURES - Cables are constructed with discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of material in the cable jacket. The discontinuities allow a section of the cable jacket to be pulled away from a remainder of the jacket using a relatively low peel force. | 01-30-2014 |
| 20140099062 | METHODS OF MAKING AND ACCESSING CABLES HAVING ACCESS FEATURES - Cables jacket are formed by extruding discontinuities in a main cable jacket portion. The discontinuities allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of material in the cable jacket, and can be introduced into the extrudate material flow used to form the main portion through ports in the extrusion head. The discontinuities allow a section of the cable jacket to be pulled away from a remainder of the jacket using a relatively low peel force. | 04-10-2014 |
| 20140369656 | COUPLING SYSTEM FOR A FIBER OPTIC CABLE - A fiber optic cable includes a jacket, an element of the cable interior to the jacket, and first and second powders. The element includes a first surface and a second surface. The cable further includes a third surface interior to the jacket and facing the first surface at a first interface and a fourth surface interior to the jacket and facing the second surface at a second interface. At least one of the third and fourth surfaces is spaced apart from the jacket. The first powder is integrated with at least one of the first and third surfaces at the first interface and the second powder integrated with at least one of the second and fourth surfaces at the second interface. The first interface has greater coupling than the second interface at least in part due to differences in the first and second powders. | 12-18-2014 |
| 20150043874 | OPTICAL FIBER CABLE WITH ANTI-SPLIT FEATURE - An optical communication cable includes a jacket, optical transmission elements, and armor. The jacket is mostly formed from a first material and includes an elongate member formed from a second material embedded in the first material. The jacket defines a channel in which the optical transmission elements are located. The armor includes a wrapped sheet having a lateral edge and is positioned around the optical transmission elements within the channel. The elongate member has an inner surface aligned with and located exterior to the lateral edge of the armor; and, when viewed in cross-section, the elongate member fully overlays and extends tangentially beyond the lateral edge. Accordingly, the elongate member provides an obstacle in the jacket that limits zippering through the jacket originating from the lateral edge. Further, the elongate member may double as a tear feature for quickly accessing contents of the cable interior to the jacket. | 02-12-2015 |
| 20150049993 | FIBER OPTIC CABLES WITH ACCESS FEATURES - Cables are constructed with discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of material in the cable jacket. The discontinuities allow a section of the cable jacket to be pulled away from a remainder of the jacket using a relatively low peel force. | 02-19-2015 |
