ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber canister (20) is formed of a bobbin (22) having an optical fiber (24) wound in a plurality of layers. The optical fiber layers include a first layer (42) having a plurality of spaced-apart helical wound segments (44), with each pair of helical wound segments (44) being separated by a stepforward wound segment (46). A second layer (50) overlies the first layer (42), the second layer (50) comprising a plurality of spaced-apart helical wound segments (52), with each pair of helical wound segments (52) being separated by a stepforward wound segment (54). The first and second layers (42 and 50) are wound such that the stepforward wound segments (54) of the second layer (50) overlie the helical wound segments (44) of the first layer (42), and the helical wound segments (52) of the second layer (50) overlie the stepforward wound segments (46) of the first layer (42).
