Abstract
The present disclosure provides an optical fiber cable (100). The optical fiber cable (100) includes one or more optical fiber (102), one or more loose tube (104) surrounding the one or more optical fiber (102) and an outer sheath (108) surrounding the one or more loose tube (104). The material composition of the one or more loose tube (104) is a mixture of a first material and a second material. The flexural modulus of the first material is at least 1000 MPa. The flexural modulus of the second material is at most 50 MPa. The material composition of the outer sheath (108) is a mixture of a first material and a second material. The flexural modulus of the first material is at least 500 MPa. The flexural modulus of the second material is at most 50 MPa.
Claims16
An optical fiber cable (100) comprising:
- one or more optical fiber (102);
- one or more loose tube (104) surrounding the one or more optical fiber (102), wherein a material of the one or more loose tube (104) is a mixture of a first material and a second material, wherein flexural modulus of the first material is at least 1000 MPa, wherein flexural modulus of the second material is at most 50 MPa, wherein the second material is added to the first material with a weight percentage of 2% to 10% to reduce a bend diameter and a kink diameter by at least 10% compared to a conventional loose tube;
- and
- an outer sheath (108) surrounding the one or more loose tube (104).
An optical fiber cable (100) comprising:
- one or more optical fiber (102) extending longitudinally along a length of the optical fiber cable (100);
- and
- an outer sheath (108) surrounding the one or more optical fiber (102), wherein material of the outer sheath (108) is a mixture of a first material and a second material, wherein flexural modulus of the first material is at least 500 MPa, wherein flexural modulus of the second material is at most 50 MPa, wherein the second material is added to the first material with a weight percentage of 2% to 10% to reduce a bend diameter and a kink diameter by at least 10% compared to a conventional outer sheath.
