| 摘要 |
An optical fiber ribbon product (20) that includes at least two sub-unit ribbons (10,16) each having a plurality of optical fibers (12) encapsulated in a matrix material (14). The sub-units are arranged adjacent each other and include identifying stripes (22,24) respectively extending longitudinally along the exterior of the matrix materials (14). The stripe (22) on the first sub-unit has a visual appearance that is different from the stripe (24) on the second sub-unit to allow the sub-units to be distinguished from each other. A bonding material (18) substantially encapsulates the first and second sub-units. In one embodiment, the bonding material is transparent and fully encapsulates the stripes. In another embodiments, the stripes made of a film and are not encapsulated by the bonding material so that they can be peeled to access the optical fibers and/or subunit ribbons. <IMAGE> |
