JETTING OPTIMIZED OUTDOOR AND INDOOR MULTI-FUNCTION DROP CABLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012218 titled 'JETTING OPTIMIZED OUTDOOR AND INDOOR MULTI-FUNCTION DROP CABLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an optical fiber drop cable that includes a cable jacket, a subunit, a first strength element, and a second strength element. The subunit, first strength element, and second strength element are embedded in the cable jacket and arranged parallel to each other on a first plane. The subunit includes a buffer tube with an inner and outer surface, at least one optical fiber, and multiple strengthening yarns. The strengthening yarns are placed between the inner surface of the buffer tube and the optical fiber, and the outer surface of the buffer tube is in contact with the cable jacket.

  • The patent application describes an optical fiber drop cable design.
  • The cable jacket defines the outermost surface of the cable.
  • The cable includes a subunit, a first strength element, and a second strength element.
  • The subunit, first strength element, and second strength element are embedded in the cable jacket.
  • They are arranged parallel to each other on a first plane.
  • The subunit consists of a buffer tube, at least one optical fiber, and multiple strengthening yarns.
  • The strengthening yarns are placed between the inner surface of the buffer tube and the optical fiber.
  • The outer surface of the buffer tube is in contact with the cable jacket.

Potential Applications:

  • Telecommunications industry for fiber optic network installations.
  • Residential and commercial buildings for high-speed internet connections.
  • Data centers for efficient and reliable data transmission.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a protective jacket for optical fiber cables.
  • Ensures the strength and durability of the cable.
  • Facilitates easy installation and maintenance of fiber optic networks.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced protection for optical fibers against external factors.
  • Increased strength and durability of the cable.
  • Simplified installation and maintenance processes.
  • Improved reliability and efficiency of data transmission.


Original Abstract Submitted

an optical fiber drop cable including a cable jacket having an outer surface defining the outermost surface of the optical fiber drop cable. the optical fiber drop cable also includes a subunit, a first strength element, and a second strength element. the first strength element, the second strength element, and the subunit are embedded in the cable jacket, and the first strength element, the second strength element, and the subunit are arranged substantially parallel to each other on a first plane. the subunit includes a buffer tube having an inner surface and an outer surface, at least one optical fiber, and a plurality of strengthening yarns. the plurality of strengthening yarns are disposed between the inner surface of the buffer tube and the at least one optical fiber, and the outer surface of the buffer tube is at least partially in contact with the cable jacket.
