摘要 |
An optical fiber ribbon assembly (2, 3) of the present invention includes a plurality of aligned optical fibers (27) and a laminated structure surrounding the optical fibers. The laminated structure includes a clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) extrusion layer (22) bonding the fibers together and a pair of Kapton layers (21) laminated over the PVC extrusion layer. Additional KEVLAR members (34) may be aligned with the fibers and embedded in the PVC extrusion layer and the Kapton layers, thereby providing the fibers with additional protection from tensile loads.
