FIBER OPTIC CABLE DEMARCATIONS INHIBITING MOVEMENT OF OPTICAL FIBERS RELATIVE TO STRENGTH MEMBERS, AND RELATED ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS

摘要

Fiber optic cable demarcations inhibiting movements of optical fibers relative to strength members, and related cable assemblies and methods, are disclosed. By bonding optical fibers (50) to strength members (164,166) with a bonding agent (134) received into at least one cavity (138), a demarcation may be formed inside the cable jacket (62) at a cable jacket interface. The at least one cavity may be disposed within a cable jacket of a fiber optic cable and at the cable jacket interface. The demarcation may bond at least one optical fiber and at least one strength member together to inhibit longitudinal movement of the at least one optical fiber relative to the at least one strength member. In this manner, the demarcation may inhibit optical fiber movement within the fiber optic connector, which may cause tensile forces and/ or buckling of the optical fiber resulting in optical fiber damage and/or optical attenuation.
