OPTICAL FIBRE, AND MANUFACTURING SYSTEM AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

An optical fibre, a manufacturing system and a manufacturing method therefor. The optical fibre comprises: sheaths (2) and N fibre cores (1), where N is a positive integer greater than 1. The sheath (2) is coated on the outside of each fibre core (1), and the sheath (2) is used for protecting each of the fibre cores (1). The N fibre cores (1) are arranged in parallel, and the arrangement direction of the N fibre cores (1) is perpendicular to an axial direction of the fibre cores (1). The sheaths (2) on the outside of adjacent fibre cores (1) of the N fibre cores (1) are connected as a whole, such that the optical fibre is a ribbon optical fibre. The optical fibre can be applied in a fixed quantity and can also be torn apart into single fibre cores which each individually serve as a connector of a tail fibre, thereby extending the application scenarios of the multiple core optical fibre.
