Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A crush-resistant fiber optic cable is disclosed, wherein the cable includes a plurality of optical fibers. The fibers are generally arranged longitudinally about a central axis, with no strength member arranged along the central axis. A tensile-strength layer surrounds the plurality of optical fibers. A protective cover surrounds the tensile-strength layer and has an outside diameter D O in the range 3 mm≦D O ≦5 mm.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. A fiber optic cable, comprising: a set of one or more optical fibers generally arranged longitudinally about a central axis of the fiber optic cable, with no rigid glass-reinforced plastic rod central strength member arranged along the central axis; a tensile-strength layer surrounding the set of optical fibers; and a protective cover surrounding the tensile-strength layer and having an outside diameter D O ≧3 mm, wherein the protective cover has a thickness T 50 ≦…
