Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the potential of low-loss tight buffer cable designs using Corning’s composite acrylate buffered fibers. Discussion will be limited to the single-fiber construction. The fiber is Corning’s 100/140-µm partially graded-index SDF. The SDF fiber is protected by a composite acrylate buffer coating. The fibers used for the major part of this study were buffered to a 400-µm diameter but have since been increased to 500 µm. Eight ends of 1420 denier Kevlar 49 are helically placed about the fiber at a 10-cm pitch and encapsulated inside a polyurethane jacket. The total diameter of the cable is 3.0 mm.
