Zusammenfassung: | Embodiments of the invention include a compression-resistant seismic optical fiber cable for repeated deployment. The seismic optical fiber cable includes a central core tube dimensioned to receive at least one bundle of optical fibers. The central core tube is dimensioned to allow the optical fibers in the at least one bundle of optical fibers to relax relative to the other optical fibers. The seismic optical fiber cable also includes at least one strength member layer surrounding the central core tube. The strength member layer provides flexibility and tensile strength to the seismic optical fiber cable. The seismic optical fiber cable also includes a jacket surrounding the strength member. The seismic optical fiber cable also includes at least one rigid fiber reinforced composite rod linearly applied within the jacket. The one linearly-applied rigid fiber reinforced composite rod provides compressive resistance for the seismic optical fiber cable. |
