Title:
PROTECTIVE TUBE FOR COMMUNICATION CABLE AND COMMUNICATION WIRE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/055835
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A protective tube for communication cables and communication wires in which anti-bending effect is enhanced such that the communication cables can be bent easily up to a specified bending radius with a small force but a large force is required for bending them furthermore. The protective tube is passed over communication cables (10, 10A) where communication wires (11, 11A) are protected in loose state by sheaths (13, 13A) composed of two or more synthetic resin layers or is passed over communication wires. The hardest resin layers (13a, 13aA) of the sheaths (13, 13A) are provided with sliced or spiral annular grooves (14) or cuts (14A) made continuously in the longitudinal direction to reach the inside diameter face. The outermost layers of the sheaths (13, 13A) are formed of protective layers (13b, 13bA) of resin softer than that of the hard resin layers (13a, 13a). When the communication wires (11, 11A) are bent, adjacent edge parts (14a, 14aA) of the annular grooves (14) or the cuts (14A) touch each other to block bending of the communication wires to below a specified bending radius.
