OPTICAL TRUNK CABLE

摘要

A fiber optic cable comprises a plurality of elongated optical fiber units, each having an outer jacket containing multiple optical fibers. The optical fiber units are interconnected at intermittent bonding locations along an axial length of said trunk cable to form a sheathless bundle. The absence of a sheath makes the trunk cable thinner and lighter than typical trunk cable. In addition, each unit can serve as a horizontal cable at a selected branching location.
