Summary :

High-count cable using optical fiber ribbon, is useful for reducing the construction time of optical fiber cable networks. In addition, if the cable is maintenance-free, the network maintenance cost can be reduced. Therefore, we developed a high-count, maintenance-free cable. First, we studied high-density cable packaging using optical fiber ribbon. Next, we solved the problem of loss increase caused by hydrogen generation, and frozen water. Then we developed 1000-fiber water blocking cable composed of water-blocking tapes, an aluminum tape with plastic coating and a surface treated tensile member. Finally, we tested the developed cable and confirmed that it satisfies the requirements for conventional cables.
