Fiber optic cable assembly and method of making same |
摘要 |
<p>Optical fibers are lightly tacked together in parallel relation to prevent relative sliding between the fibers (12) along their lengthwise directions, by forming a longitudinally extending frangible web (14) bonded between the fibers. The web in one embodiment is formed by applying a coating (20) of a hardenable composition in a fluid state to the adjacent fibers and then removing the composition from the fibers by passing them through an aperture (22) of a tool (24) except on the opposing surfaces of the adjacent fibers, and causing or allowing the composition remaining between the fibers to harden. Alternatively, a coloring compound is coated onto each fiber and the fibers are pressed and held together until the compound solidifies. In yet another embodiment a solid coating of material soluble in a volatile solvent is provided on each fiber, and the coatings are contacted by solvent to render them tacky, the fibers then being pressed and held together until the coatings resolidify, <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
