<p>A two-pole ruggedized optical fiber cable, suitable for use in communication applications, having a core assembly comprising a sealed inner copper alloy tube in which at least one optical fiber is encapsulated and a process and apparatus for fabricating the cable are described. Surrounding the core assembly is a layer of dielectric material, an outer metallic tube and, if needed, a protective jacket. The outer tube's primary function is to serve as the cable's primary strength member and is preferably formed from a high strength, non-ferrous alloy having a relatively low modulus of elasticity.</p> |
