Optical communication cable

摘要

An optical communication cable includes an elongated flexible strip or tape, one or more optical fibers affixed to the tape, and an adhesive on a surface of the tape. The optical cable is utilized for interconnecting points within a building by applying the adhesive to an interior wall, ceiling, floor or partition. When a transparent tape is utilized, the optical cable is nearly invisible on a wall. The cable can include protective stands that run parallel to the optical fibers. Various fixtures are provided for interconnecting and installing the optical cable. Applicator tools for installing the optical cable on a surface are disclosed.
