Optical cable with high conductor density - has geometric arrangement of bundles of optical fibres forming larger bundles

摘要

An optical cable is made up of basic bundles (5) made up of optical fibres (1). The basic bundles are arranged around a central element (6) to form a main bundle (7) which itself encircles a cone. At least six optical fibres (1) encircle a carrier (2) to form an optical element or artery (3). Six arteries (3) encircle a filler (4) to form a basic bundle (5). The basic bundles (5) encircle a central element (6) to form a main bundle (7). Six main bundles (7) encircle another main bundle (7), as a central element, to form a cable. USE/ADVANTAGE - Telecommunication. Allows systematic organication of light wave conductors because of geometric arrangement. Enables max. possible number of light wave conductors in cable of given.
