ROLLED OPTICAL FIBER RIBBON

Abstract: an optical fiber ribbon is manufactured in a rolled configuration so that the rolled configuration is the natural state for the optical fiber ribbon. the optical fiber ribbon is curled into the rolled configuration as the fibers are sequentially added to the ribbon. for example, the ribbon can be indexed in a spiral as each new fiber is bonded to the previously added fiber.
