FIBER OPTIC CABLE WITH LARGE-DIAMETER OPTICAL FIBERS

摘要

A large and small diameter optical fiber carrying cable (10) is provided. The cable includes a cable body (12) including an inner surface (14) defining a channel (16) within the cable body, a first group of optical fibers comprising a plurality of first optical fibers (18) located within the channel and a second group of optical fibers comprising a plurality of second optical fibers (20) located within the channel. The optical core diameter of the first optical fibers is larger than the optical core diameter of the second optical fibers.
