FIBER IDENTIFICATION IN AN OPTICAL FIBER COMPOSITE OVERHEAD GROUND WIRE

摘要

SO-2-45047M/KK/87ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREAn optical fiber composite overhead ground wire inwhich a plurality of optical fibers are wound together ona tension member to form an optical unit. A plurality ofsuch optical units are disposed in a spacer around whichground wires are wound. The optical fibers within a unitare identified by color and possibly winding order. Eachtension member is also identified from other tensionmembers so each optical fiber can be uniquely identified.
