Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) As a problem in some aerial application, there have been cases where optical fibers within the cable are damaged due to the cable being bitten by animals, such as woodpeckers or squirrels. In response, a stainless steel tape, which surrounds slotted core cable using rigid ribbon has been taken. Because the rigid ribbon is susceptible to fiber strain, it was difficult to reduce the cable diameter and weight. In addition, at the time of mid-span access, a special tool was needed. In this paper, we aimed to provide an innovative cable with high strength sheath for aerial application which has not only functions equivalent to existing cable but also excellent mid-span access workability.
