| 20090317039 | Fiber optic cable having armor with easy access features - 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. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20110229097 | OPTICAL USB CABLE WITH CONTROLLED FIBER POSITIONING - 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. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110286705 | METHODS OF CONTROLLING BONDING AND ARTICLES FORMED THEREFROM - The bond between abutting layers is controlled by introducing particulate matter at the interface of the layers. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110286706 | CABLE JACKET WITH VARIABLE PERIMETER BOND - 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. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20120121225 | OPTICAL FIBER CABLES - Cables have reduced freespace, reduced tube diameters, and reduced strength member diameters. The cables are designed to pass robustness testing such as GR-20 while using smaller amounts of raw materials to produce. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120315004 | FIBER OPTIC CABLES ALLOWING FIBER TRANSLATION TO REDUCE BEND ATTENUATION - 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. | 12-13-2012 |
| 20140153886 | FIBER OPTIC CABLES ALLOWING FIBER TRANSLATION TO REDUCE BEND ATTENUATION - 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. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20140153887 | OPTICAL FIBER CABLES - Cables have reduced freespace, reduced tube diameters, and reduced strength member diameters. The cables are designed to pass robustness testing such as GR-20 while using smaller amounts of raw materials to produce. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20140193119 | FIBER OPTIC CONNECTOR ASSEMBLIES HAVING WINDOWED OPTICAL FIBERS AND METHODS THEREOF - Fiber optic connector assemblies and method for assembling the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a fiber optic connector assembly includes an optical fiber having an inner glass region, a polymer layer surrounding the inner glass region, and a windowed portion, wherein the inner glass region is exposed at the windowed portion. The fiber optic connector assembly further includes a connector body having a demarcation region at a first end, wherein the optical fiber is disposed within the connector body such that at least a portion of the windowed portion is positioned in the demarcation region, and the optical fiber is adhered to the connector body at the windowed portion. In another embodiment, the demarcation region includes an opening in the outer jacket that exposes the at least a portion of the windowed portion of the plurality of optical fibers and the optical fibers are adhered to a portion of the cable. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20140270664 | METHODS FOR CREATING A DEMARCATION LOCATION IN A STRUCTURE AND ASSOCIATED ASSEMBLIES - Disclosed are methods for creating a demarcation of at least one optical fiber in a structure along with a fiber optic cable. The method may include the steps of providing at least one optical fiber having a covering, heating a portion of the covering, and deforming the covering about the at least one optical fiber at a first location to inhibit movement of the at least one optical fiber with respect to the covering. The method may be applied to one or more optical fibers within a covering such as bare loose fibers, ribbonized fibers, buffered fibers or the like. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20140328564 | OPTICAL FIBER CABLES - Cables have reduced freespace, reduced tube diameters, and reduced strength member diameters. The cables are designed to pass robustness testing such as GR-20 while using smaller amounts of raw materials to produce. | 11-06-2014 |
| 20150023640 | OPTICAL FIBER CABLE WITH PROTECTIVE TRANSLUCENT OUTER LAYER - An optical communication cable is provided. The optical communications cable includes a cable body having an outer surface, an inner surface and a channel defined by the inner surface. An optical transmission element is located in the channel. The cable includes an ink layer positioned on the outer surface of the cable body, and the ink layer is formed from charged ink droplets adhered to the outer surface of the cable body. The cable also includes a translucent layer coupled to the outer surface of the cable body over the ink layer such that the ink layer is located between the outer surface of the cable body and an inner surface of the translucent layer. | 01-22-2015 |
