Optical cable with controlled fiber positioning

摘要

Methods of controlling the position of an optical fiber (48,50) having a minimum bend radius within an optical fiber channel (38) in a fiber optic cable (30) having a small footprint are disclosed. The position of the optical fibers is controlled so that the fiber is not bent at a radius below its minimum bend radius. Electrical conductors (40,42) can be included in the cable (30).
