An optical fiber cable suitable installation using an air-blown method is disclosed. The optical fiber cable has a center tensile member located at a center of the optical fiber cable to provide tension-resistant force, at least three loose tubes each of which includes at least one optical signal transmitting medium, and located to surround a peripheral portion of the center tensile member, a binder surrounding the loose tubes to maintain an alignment pattern of the loose tubes, and a sheath located at an outermost portion of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable has a polygonal sectional shape having smooth edges.

Optical fiber cable suitable for installation using an air-blown installation method

Disclosed is an interior optical cable including a plurality of tight buffer optical fibers; a subsidiary tension member surrounding the outer circumferences of the optical fibers; and an outer coating layer surrounding the subsidiary tension member, wherein the tight buffer optical fibers has a predetermined lay ratio to the outer coating layer.

Interior optical cable having a plurality of tight cables

Disclosed is an air-blown fiber-optic cable including: a central tensile member which is located axially through the center of the optic cable and provides a tension-resistant force; a plurality of loose tubes wound around the tensile member, each tube housing a plurality of optic fibers therein; aramid yarns for binding the loose tubes; and an outer sheath disposed on the outermost part of the optic cable to protect the interior thereof from the exterior environment.

Air-blown fiber optic cable

Disclosed is a fiber optic cable, comprising a central strength member, disposed at the center of the cable, for providing tensile strength; a plurality of inner tight buffered cores disposed in a linear form around the central strength member; a plurality of outer tight buffered cores, twisted in a spiral or S-Z form, for enclosing the inner tight buffered cores; and a jacket, disposed on an outermost circumference of the cable, for protecting an interior of the cable from external environments. The linear form of the inner tight buffered cores enclosed by the outer tight buffered cores, twisted in a spiral of S-Z form thereby providing a structure allowing the fiber optic cable to be maintained in a stable arrangement

Fiber optic cable

The present invention relates to a loose-tube, optical-ribbon cable, which comprises a central tensile-strength component situated in the center of the optical-ribbon cable; a plurality of loose tubes mounted with a bundle of optical-ribbon fibers, wherein the bundle of optical-ribbon fibers are formed by laminating multiple optical-ribbon fibers, each optical-ribbon fiber including multiple cores of optical fibers stranded in a single row and a sheath surrounding the multiple cores of optical fibers, wherein the plurality of loose tubes are stranded around the central tensile-strength component; a plurality of circle-shaped, water-absorbing members arranged in a hollow which is formed outside the pair of loose tubes neighboring each other; a water-absorbing tape for surrounding the plurality of loose tubes and plurality of circle-shaped, water-absorbing members; and, an external sheath situated in the outermost surface of the optical ribbon-cable for protecting the interior of the loose tube optical-ribbon cable against the external environment.
