An optical fiber unit for air blown installation includes at least one optical fiber having a core layer and a clad layer, a protective layer coated on the surface of the optical fiber; and protrusions made of polymer resin and formed on the outer circumference of the protective layer in a banded shape. The protrusions may be formed either by supplying polymer resin to the outer circumference of the optical fiber with passing the optical fiber through an extrusion dice in which grooves of a predetermined shape are formed on a hollow inner circumference thereof, or by supplying polymer resin to the outer circumference of the optical fiber through nozzles with moving the optical fiber in a longitudinal direction.

Optical fiber unit for air blown installation and manufacturing method thereof

An Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD) apparatus for making an optical fiber preform with uniform deposition of silica particles through uniform heating to the overall length of the preform includes a mandrel having a predetermined length and driven to rotate and a burner for emitting a combustion gas together with a combustion gas toward the mandrel and burning the combustion gas to make silica particles to that the silica particles are deposited on a surface of the mandrel, wherein the burner has a length corresponding to the length of the mandrel and provides uniform temperature throughout the overall length of the mandrel at the same time.

Outside vapor deposition apparatus for making optical fiber preform

An optical fiber unit installation apparatus having a unit for preventing a fluid from flowing backward toward entrance of the optical unit to prevent fluid leakage while the optical fiber unit is installed using air pressure is disclosed. The apparatus includes an optical fiber unit supplier; a blowing head having an entrance for introduction of an optical fiber unit supplied from the supplier, and an exit communicated with the entrance and combined with a tube for air pressure installation; a pressing unit for applying air pressure to the optical fiber unit introduced into the blowing head to insert the optical fiber unit into the tube; and a fiber sealing unit, an aggregation of fur-type elastic fibers, mounted in an advancing path of the optical fiber unit through the blowing head to prevent fluid leakage by surrounding the optical fiber unit with fiber ends contacted thereon.
