The invention relates to an electrical flat conductor () for motor vehicles with a flat conductor core () of electrically conductive flat conductor material and with an insulation of an insulating material encasing the flat conductor core (), wherein the height (Hk) of the flat conductor core () is less than the width (Bk) of the flat conductor core, wherein the flat conductor core () has at least one narrow side (----), which limits the width of the flat conductor core () on one side, wherein the at least one narrow side (----) of the flat conductor core () has at least in sections over the length of the flat conductor () a partial surface (---), whose contour in the cross-section of the flat conductor core () forms a straight section (----), which extends over a part of the height of the flat conductor core (), wherein the straight section (----) extends over at least 75% of the height of the flat conductor core (). The invention furthermore relates to an electrical flat conductor () for motor vehicles with a flat conductor core () of electrically conductive flat conductor material and with an insulation () of an insulating material encasing the flat conductor core () , wherein the height (Hk) of the flat conductor core () is less than the width (Bk) of the flat conductor core () and wherein the insulation () at least in sections over the length of the flat conductor () on at least one side (-------) of the flat conductor core () has a greater wall thickness than on at least one other side (-------) of the flat conductor core ().

Electrical flat conductor for motor vehicles

The invention relates to optical fiber cables and, more specifically, to an optical fiber cable especially suited for blown installation or pushing installation in microducts of small diameter. An exemplary microcable for installation in small microducts has an outer sheath as buffer tube that holds a plurality of optical fibers without a layer of strength elements stranded around the outer sheath, which is made of one single thermoplastic material.

Optical fiber cable suited for blown installation or pushing installation in microducts of small diameter

The present invention relates to loose tube optical waveguide fiber cable which is optimized for easy and fast installation as plenum cable, such as in customer premises for FTTH (fiber to the home) applications. One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a loose tube optical waveguide fiber cable which is suitable for fixed in-house cabling at extremely low-cost for a large-scale installation of FTTH.

Loose tube optical waveguide fiber cable

The present invention relates to a loose tube optical waveguide fiber cable that is suitable for riser or plenum applications. The cable includes a protective tube that loosely surrounds two or more optical waveguides inside the hollow cavity defined by the tube. The protective tube has an inner surface and an outer surface and is a dry structure. Accordingly, the protective tube does not contain any gel-like compounds or other materials around the optical fibers positioned inside the protective tube. Strengthening members are disposed between the inner surface of the protective tube and the outer surface of the protective tube. The strengthening members are configured as embedded or layered strengthening elements and are disposed longitudinally along the length of the cable.

Strengthened optical waveguide fiber cable

A fiber optic cable with optical fibers stranded around a central strength member, and surrounded outer jacket made of a low coefficient of friction material and thinly constructed to show the profile of the stranded shape of the optical lines through the jacket, to thereby form a textured surface.

Optimized fiber optic cable suitable for microduct blown installation

An optical cable with one or more fiber optics conductors (,) that are located in a strand (,) with a polypropylene envelope or in a polypropylene support element (,), as well as with an outer jacket (,). The polypropylene contains a fire-retardant additive, the basis of which is an ammonium polyphosphate, and the jacket (,) is made of a halogen-free, flame-resistant material.
