Cable for housing parallelly oriented optical fibers and method and apparatus for producing the same

摘要

Disclosed is a cable which utilizes optical fibers where the optical fibers run substantially parallel to the cable. Also disclosed is a system for fabricating a cable which utilizes parallelly oriented optical fibers. The system includes an extrusion device which positions the optical fibers substantially parallel within the cable and covers the fibers with an elastomeric material in a single step.
