A protective textile sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a circumferentially continuous wall extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends. The wall has a first section formed from a non-heat-shrinkable, non-elastic yarn and a second section formed from one of a heat-shrinkable or elastic yarn. The first section extends lengthwise between the opposite ends and spans (X) degrees about the circumference of the wall between opposite lengthwise extending edges while in an unshrunken or stretch. The second section extends lengthwise between the opposite ends and spans (360-X) degrees about the circumference of the wall. The heat-shrikable or elastic yarn of the second section extends continuously as an uninterupted yarn between the opposite edges of the first section.

Multi-fiber, fiber optic cable assemblies may be configured so that the terminal ends of the cables have pre-assembled back-post assemblies that include pre-assembled ferrules, such as MPO ferrules that meet the requisite tolerances needed for fiber optic transmissions. To protect the pre-assembled components from damage prior to and during installation, pre-assembled components may be enclosed within a protective housing. The housing with pre-assembled components may be of a size smaller than fully assembled connectors so as to be sized to fit through a conduit. The remaining connector housing components for the multi-fiber connectors may be provided separately and may be configured to be attached to the back-post assembly after installation of the cable.

The present disclosure relates to a fusion splice matched pair detachable connector for high fiber count applications where optical fiber alignment is maintained during processing of the detachable connector.

A communications cable (11) is provided with a pliant sleeve (12, 21, 31) to allow it to be more easily inserted into a conduit. One form of the sleeve (12) has hook (14) and loop (15) connected to each other so that the sleeve (12) can engage the cable (11). Another form of the sleeve (21) is spring-loaded to engage the cable (11). In a third form of the sleeve (31) has an adhesive (33) which attaches the sleeve (31) to the cable (11).

An encapsulated tubular cable with a colorized identification strap includes armored protection ducts and an encapsulation protection layer. A hollow passage is formed in the center of the duct body after each armored protection duct is formed. A wire cable, an optical fiber, or an oil duct is placed in the hollow passage. The encapsulation protection layer wraps the armored protection ducts. A plurality of armored protection ducts are arranged in one encapsulated protection layer. A peripheral edge of each armored protection duct is correspondingly provided with at least one colorized identification strap group. The encapsulation protection layer improves the corrosion resistance of the encapsulated duct cable; the colorized identification straps are provided at the thinnest positions of the encapsulation protection layer to facilitate tearing and encapsulation; and each colorized identification strap has a respective color identifier, which is convenient for distinguishing objects in each hollow passage during use.

A bracket system mounts to a ladder rack for positioning a fiber trough system above the ladder rack. The bracket arrangement includes a bridge with a slider bar that allows for multiple positions of the fiber trough system relative to the ladder rack in a horizontal direction.

A method of assembling an optical fiber cable on production casing includes positioning the optical fiber cable against a production casing at a hole of a well site, and affixing the optical fiber cable against the production casing by applying an adhesive to the production casing to secure the optical fiber cable against the production casing. The method further includes applying pressure to the adhesive to adhesively bond the optical fiber cable to the production casing along a length of the production casing while the production casing is being run-in-hole.

A method of fabricating a multi-compartment innerduct includes the steps of positioning a plurality of longitudinally extending, laterally spaced, strips of adhesive on a longitudinally extending sheet of fabric material, connecting adjacent of the strips together to form compartments, and attaching the compartments together.

A flexible cable support includes a first elongated member, a second elongated member and a base. The first elongated member and the second elongated member extend along a longitudinal axis. The base may connect the first elongated member and second elongated member. The first elongated member, the base, and the second elongated member define a longitudinal recess which is configured to receive a cable.
