FIBER OPTIC CABLES WITH ACCESS FEATURES

摘要

Cables are constructed with discontinuities (50) in the cable jacket (30) that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of material in the cable jacket. The discontinuities allow a section of the cable jacket to be pulled away from a remainder of the jacket using a relatively low peel force between 20 and 40 Newton.
