OPTICAL FIBER CABLE WITH REINFORCEMENT

摘要

An optical communication cable (10) includes a cable body (12), a plurality of core elements (20,22, 24) located within the cable body, a reinforcement layer (30) surrounding the plurality of core elements within the cable body, and a film (28) surrounding the plurality of core elements. At least one of the plurality of core elements includes an elongate optical transmission element (18). The film (28) provides an inwardly directed force onto the core elements, and a surface of the film is bonded to the reinforcement layer.
