We have developed new type of optical fiber drop cables and intra-building cables that replaces slotted core cables. They are laid in multistory residences and small buildings. Due to the fact that this cable is small in diameter, it can be laid in narrow spaces that were heretofore impossible to run cables through. Construction is very simple, which contributes to lowering the overall cost. Furthermore, it is possible to manufacture cables in a single process, thereby lowering processing costs. The mid-span branching capabilities are far superior to the old type of cables, as well. In testing this type of cable for transmission loss, temperature tolerance, mechanical abilities, mid-span branching capabilities, and installation flexibility, we obtained positive results in every category, confirming that this cable is extremely practical.
