An optical fiber cable comprises a cable core including at least one optical transmission element to transfer light, and a cable jacket surrounding the cable core. The cable jacket is embodied as a multilayered structure having a first sheath layer and at least a second sheath layer being surrounded by the first sheath layer. The material of the first and the second sheath layer is halogen free. The material of the first sheath layer and the material of the second sheath layer have a different flame retardant additive providing different flame retardant mechanisms.

An optical fiber protective unit includes: a reticulated tube having openings that are reticulately formed, the reticulated tube being configured to accommodate a plurality of optical fibers inserted through the reticulated tube; a tubular member disposed inside the reticulated tube, the tubular member being configured to accommodate the plurality of optical fibers through the tubular member; and a cylindrical member attached to an end part of the reticulated tube. The cylindrical member has an inner diameter that is larger than an outer diameter of the tubular member.

A fiber optic cable terminal proximally terminates a stub cable carrying one or more optical fibers. The stub cable is structurally adapted to be advanced through at least a portion of a conduit by distally pushing a distal end of the stub cable from a location that is proximal to a proximal end of the conduit and without applying any pulling force at any location that is distal to the proximal end of the conduit.

An optical fiber cable includes: a core including optical fibers; a sheath housing the core; and an interposition layer including fibers between the core and the sheath. Some of the fibers that are disposed from an outer end portion to an intermediate portion in a radial direction of the interposition layer are integrated by a matrix.

A cable includes: a cable main body; a first adhesive layer in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the cable main body; a protective member that covers an end part of the cable main body; an outer peripheral member that covers a part of the protective member; and a second adhesive layer on an inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral member and in contact with the protective member. Adhesive strength of the second adhesive layer is larger than adhesive strength of the first adhesive layer.

A buffer tube for an optical fiber cable provided by the present disclosure includes an optical fiber ribbon stack, a first layer, a second layer, an optical fiber cable, a central strength member, a plurality of buffer tubes, a water blocking layer, and a sheath and plurality of rip cords. The first layer is an inner layer of the buffer tube. The first layer is made of a soft material. The soft material of the first layer is one of low smoke zero halogen, thermoplastic elastomers and thermoplastic polyurethane. The second layer is an outer layer of the buffer tube. The second layer surrounds the first layer. The second layer is made of a hard material. The hard material of the second layer is one of polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate, and nylon.

An optical fiber cable includes: optical fiber units each having optical fibers; a wrapping tube that wraps around the optical fiber units; a filling disposed inside the wrapping tube; and a sheath that covers the wrapping tube. The optical fiber units includes outer units that are disposed at an outermost layer of the optical fiber units. The outer units are twisted in an SZ shape around a cable central axis of the optical fiber cable. The filling is sandwiched between one of the outer units and the wrapping tube in a cross-sectional view.

Cables are constructed with extruded discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of material in the cable jacket.

A multi-purpose sealing device is described herein for use in a port structure of fiber terminal, telecommunication enclosure; or a bulkhead. The exemplary sealing device has a body having an open end and a closed end, wherein the closed end includes a removable portion and a pulling device to facilitate removal of the exemplary sealing device from a port structure. In one aspect, the exemplary sealing device is a single part made of a resilient material, while an alternative aspect, the exemplary sealing device includes a rigid connection portion disposed within the open end of the body. The exemplary device can be used as a dust cap or plug prior to making a service connection and/or it can be used as a port/cable sealing device after the service connection is made.

A macro-molecular leakage-free self-adhering aluminum foil has two layers of aluminum foil compounded using a PET film, and the other surfaces of each layer coated with a modified PE adhesive layer respectively; or air gaps in one surface or two surfaces are filled with nano-aluminum to form a permeable air gap-free surface. The foil has advantages: 1, high folding resistance, fatigue resistance and strength 2, wrapping self-adhering performance is good, and stripping strength formed after adhesion is several times as high as that of the prior art; 3, air gaps in the surface of the aluminum foil filled with nano-aluminum powder result in improved compactness; manufacture from low-grade aluminum foil, and so that rolling precision requirements are lowered, and manufacturing cost reduced; 4, insulating strength is high, shielding effect is good, the return loss phenomenon is avoided, and tensile strength is good.
