Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical fiber cable includes a plurality of optical fibers arranged in juxtaposition with one another, and a plurality of adhesive materials spaced-apart disposed on the optical fibers. Each of the adhesive materials binds adjacent ones of the optical fibers to one another in a number that is smaller than a total number of the optical fibers. A method for manufacturing the optical fiber cable includes arranging the optical fibers in juxtaposition with one another, and applying the adhesive materials to the optical fibers in a spaced-apart manner, such that each of the adhesive materials binds adjacent ones of the optical fibers.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing an optical fiber cable, comprising: arranging a plurality of optical fibers in juxtaposition with one another; and applying a plurality of adhesive materials to the optical fibers in a spaced- apart manner, such that each of the adhesive materials binds adjacent ones of the optical fibers to one another in a number that is smaller than a total number of the optical fibers, wherein in the arranging step, the optical fibers are aligned in a first direction, and in the applying step, the optical fibers move back and forth in a second direction that is traverse to the first direction, and the adhesive materials are applied on the optical fibers in the first direction. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the arranging step, twelve optical fibers are arranged, and in the applying step, each of the adhesive materials is applied to bind three adjacent ones of the optical fibers. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein in the applying step, the adhesive materials are spaced apart from one another in the second direction. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein in the applying step, a portion of the adhesive materials are spaced apart from one another in the first direction. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the applying step, at least one of the optical fibers bound by one of the adhesive materials is different from those bound by another one of the adhesive materials.
