Abstract
Provided are (i) a fiber-optic cable having a cable sheath that enables significant changes in the cable's cross-sectional shape when the cable is bent and (ii) a raceway that can be used to deploy such a fiber-optic cable.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- a fiber-optic cable comprising a cable segment that has a plurality of optical fibers laterally encased by a cable sheath;
- and
- wherein the cable segment is constructed to permit relative lateral movement of at least some of the optical fibers within the cable sheath to change a cross-sectional shape of the cable segment.
An apparatus comprising:
- a raceway having a hollow cable conduit, the hollow cable conduit having a curved portion and a straight portion connected to the curved portion, the curved portion of the hollow cable conduit having a larger cross-sectional size measured orthogonally to a main plane of the raceway than a corresponding cross-sectional size of the straight portion of the hollow cable conduit.
