Splittable optical fiber ribbons

Abstract

A splittable double-embedded optical fiber ribbon, which includes a plurality of sub-unit ribbons, encapsulated within an outer encapsulation layer. At least two of the sub-units include complementary edges which are shaped so that, when adjacent one another, they enhance the stability of the interface between those sub-units. The enhanced stability of the sub-unit interface improves the planarity of the double-embedded optical fiber ribbon of which they are a part.
