METHOD OF MAKING A CABLE STRENGTH MEMBER

Strength members for cable, particularly fiber optic cable, are made by a method comprising the steps of: A. Wetting a fiber, e.g., fiberglass fiber, with an aqueous polymeric dispersion to form a wetted fiber, the dispersion comprising: 1. At least one thermoplastic resin, e.g., a polyolefin; 2. At...

Summary:Strength members for cable, particularly fiber optic cable, are made by a method comprising the steps of: A. Wetting a fiber, e.g., fiberglass fiber, with an aqueous polymeric dispersion to form a wetted fiber, the dispersion comprising: 1. At least one thermoplastic resin, e.g., a polyolefin; 2. At least one dispersing agent, e.g., a ethylene ethyl acrylate polymer; and 3. Water; B. Removing the water from the wetted fiber, and C. Consolidating the resin on the fiber with or without curing. L'invention concerne des éléments de renforcement pour un câble, en particulier pour un câble à fibres optiques, qui sont fabriqués par un procédé comprenant les étapes consistant à : A. humidifier une fibre, par exemple, une fibre de verre, par une dispersion polymère aqueuse pour former une fibre humidifiée, la dispersion comprenant : 1. au moins une résine thermoplastique, par exemple, une polyoléfine; 2. au moins un agent de dispersion, par exemple, un polymère éthylène acrylate d'éthyle; et 3. de l'eau; B. retirer l'eau de la fibre humidifiée et C. consolider la résine sur la fibre avec ou sans durcissement.
