Problems solved by technology

[0003] The use of ointment filling may have the following problems: 1) The ointment mainly contains silicone oil, which is a general chemical synthesis product with low natural degradation ability and is easy to pollute the environment for a long time; 2) During the installation and use of optical cables, the ointment is troublesome to clean, Usually, it needs to be treated with organic solvents, which is not environmentally friendly and has low efficiency; 3) The contact between the ointment and the coloring layer of the optical fiber may easily cause the coloring layer to fall off or migrate, making it difficult to distinguish, resulting in difficulty in connection; 4) When the temperature changes, the viscosity of the ointment will change. 5) The contact area between the ointment and the sheath of the micro-bundle tube is large, and the filling volume of the ointment exceeds 85% of the inner diameter of the micro-bundle tube, and leakage of the sheath may occur for a long time
6) In the prior art, multiple micro-bundle tubes are usually directly stranded, and the product fiber density is low and the outer diameter is large

Abstract

The invention provides an all-dry micro-bundle optical cable which comprises a microtube core, an outer sheath wrapping the periphery of the microtube core and a plurality of reinforcing pieces embedded in the outer sheath. The microtube core comprises a plurality of wound microtubes and a plurality of waterproof yarns, and gaps among the wound microtubes are filled with the waterproof yarns; eachwound microtube comprises a winding belt and a plurality of dry-type optical fiber microtubes wrapped by the winding belt, wherein each dry-type optical fiber microtube consists of a microtube sheathand waterproof yarns and optical fibers wrapped in the microtube sheath. The all-dry micro-bundle optical cable adopts an all-dry type structure, is filled with no oil, is environmentally friendly and free of pollution, and has high efficiency and rapidness in construction; after several dry-type optical fiber microtubes are wound and combined through the winding belt, the density of the opticalfibers and the space ratio of the optical fibers in an inner cavity of the sheath can be effectively improved; the dry-type waterproof material has stable performance with the temperature change, theoptical fiber transmission characteristic does not change with the temperature change, and the performance is stable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical cables, in particular to an all-dry micro-bundle optical cable. Background technique [0002] Micro-bundle optical cables are generally used in urban backbone networks, and are usually laid in outdoor pipes or overhead. Therefore, there are special requirements for the water resistance of the optical cable, and the optical cable must prevent longitudinal water seepage. The main structure of the micro-bundle optical cable includes a micro-bundle tube and an outer sheath. The micro-bundle tube contains at least one optical fiber, and at least one strengthening member is embedded in the sheath. In order to meet the water resistance of the entire section of the optical cable, not only the cavity between the outside of the micro-bundle tube and the sheath needs to be water-resistant, but also the inside of the micro-bundle tube must be filled with water-blocking materials. Usually, the water-blocking ...
