Restricting expansion of fibre optic sheath
A fibre-optic cable has a silica optical fibre 1 within a fluoropolymer sleeve 12. The fibre 1 extends between two couplings 3 and 4 and is protected by a sheath 2 that is fixed at each end to the couplings. The sheath 2 comprises parallel silica filaments 15 that extend between two braided aramid s...

| Zusammenfassung: | A fibre-optic cable has a silica optical fibre 1 within a fluoropolymer sleeve 12. The fibre 1 extends between two couplings 3 and 4 and is protected by a sheath 2 that is fixed at each end to the couplings. The sheath 2 comprises parallel silica filaments 15 that extend between two braided aramid sleeves 13 and 14. The sheath 2 is completed by an outer tube 16 of a fluoropolymer resin extruded onto the braided sleeves so that its material flows through them and the filaments. |
