ABSTRACT:
The application of low loss optical fibers in optical communication systems requires that the glass fibers are suitably packaged into a cable. This invention provides a system of multiple optical fibers between two tapes or films, one of which holds the fibers on the film by pressure-sensitive adhesive and in spaced relation to one another. The fibers are covered by a second film, preferably thinner than the first film, and secured to the first film along the edges of the films to provide a laminated structure suitable for cabling. Spacers between the films eliminate asymmetric pressure of the covering film against the optical fibers which are nearest to the edges of the films; and the spacers are preferably strength members for stiffening the laminate.
