Abstract
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.
