ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber band comprising an optical fiber intermediate and equi-distant from a pair of metal wires, each having substantially the same temperature coefficient of expansion as the optical fiber, embedded in a synthetic thermoplastic material and cables formed therewith. In one embodiment of a cable, a plurality of bands are bunched together and surrounded by a thermoplastic sheath. In another embodiment, a plurality of bands are disposed in side-by-side relation and preferably, secured together and a plurality of such bands are wound helically in successive layers around a supporting core, such as wire rope, and are covered by a thermoplastic sheath. Also, processes for forming the bands by extruding the thermoplastic over the fiber and wires or by sealing the fiber and wires between a pair of thermoplastic films.
