Abstract
It is important in designing jelly-filled optical cables to take the squeezing properties into consideration. When a jelly-filled cable is squeezed, the optical fibers tend to move in the cable by the lubricant effect of the jelly compound; the fibers are disarranged and bent by the jelly flow, which results in an optical loss increase.
