ABSTRACT:
Improved PMD performance is achieved in fiber optic cable fabricated in accordance with the principles of the invention by twisting each of a plurality of optical fibers in a controlled manner as the cable is being formed. A controlled amount of twist is imparted to each optical fiber uniformly along its entire length. Uniformity of twist reduces twist-induced strain and promotes optimum PMD reduction.
