US 2025/0085501 A1 · OPTICAL FIBER RIBBON

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an optical fiber ribbon, which is a component included in a high-density optical fiber cable including high-density optical fibers (which are installed in a limited space such as a conduit line) per unit area to build a large-capacity communication network, in which bonding of optical fibers is maintained to allow the optical fibers to be rolled in a width direction, and which is configured to achieve an optimal separation force on each bonding region in a longitudinal direction of the optical fibers and a direction perpendicular to the optical fibers, thereby improving workability in splitting or connecting the optical fiber ribbon and preventing inadvertent separation of the optical fibers of the optical fiber ribbon during the manufacture of the optical fiber cable.

Dependent claims

An optical fiber ribbon formed by bonding a plurality of optical fibers in parallel, wherein a pair of adjacent optical fibers among the plurality of optical fibers are bonded to each other through a plurality of bonding regions spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the optical fibers, and

an average horizontal separation force for separating the pair of optical fibers from each other in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the optical fibers is 300 gf or more in each of the bonding regions.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
