Title:
OPTICAL FIBER CABLE WITH CONTROLLED HELIX-PLUS-EFL VALUES AND METHODS THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003083518
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Fiber optic cable (10) and method of manufacturing the cable, include a plurality of carriers (14,18) having at least optical fiber (15) therein. In one embodiment, the carriers are arranged in two layers within the cable and are generally disposed about a center area of the cable. Each layer has a respective helix-plus-EFL value. A difference between the respective helix-plus-EFL values of the layers defines a differential range being, preferably, about 1% or less. Additionally the fiber optic cables can be used in fiber optic cable systems such as dispersion managed cable systems "DMCS".
