Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure provides a method for stacking of a plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106). The plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106) is defined by a top surface (S1) and a bottom surface (S2). The top surface (S1) and bottom surface (S2) are defined by a plurality of elevated regions and a plurality of groove regions. The method for stacking of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106) includes arranging the plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106) over each other such that the plurality of elevated regions of each of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons fits over the plurality of groove regions of an adjacent optical fibre ribbon of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106). In addition, arrangement of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons forms an optical fibre ribbon stack (200).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for stacking of a plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ), wherein each optical fibre ribbon ( 100 ) of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) is defined by a top surface (S 1 ) and a bottom surface (S 2 ), wherein the top surface (S 1 ) and the bottom surface (S 2 ) are defined by a plurality of elevated regions and a plurality of groove regions, wherein the plurality of elevated regions and the plurality of groove regions are alternate to each other, wherein the method for stacking of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) comprising: arranging the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) over each other such that the plurality of elevated regions of each of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) fits over the plurality of groove regions of an adjacent optical fibre ribbon of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ), wherein arrangement of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) forms an optical fibre ribbon stack ( 200 ), wherein each of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) is capable of bending along non-preferential axis. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) of the optical fibre ribbon stack ( 200 ) is arranged such that each optical fibre ribbon ( 100 ) of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) is offset by half value of pitch of each optical fibre ribbon ( 100 ) of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ). 3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) comprises a plurality of optical fibres ( 102 ), wherein each of the plurality of optical fibres ( 102 ) is coated with a matrix material ( 104 ), wherein the matrix material ( 104 ) on each of the plurality of optical fibres ( 102 ) is characterised by a radius of curvature, wherein the radius of curvature of the matrix material ( 104 ) on each of the plurality of optical fibres ( 102 ) in each of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) is same. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) has 12 optical fibres. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein arrangement of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons ( 106 ) is dependent of diameter of each of the plurality of optical fibres ( 102 ), a radius of curvature of the matrix material ( 104 ) and pitch of the plurality of optical fibers ( 102 ) in the optical fibre ribbon ( 106 ). 6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the optical fibre ribbon stack ( 200 ) is characterized by height, wherein height of the optical fibre ribbon stack ( 200 ) is 3170 micrometers.
