  • Abstract
    A low loss, highly dense cable containing nylon-extruded six-fibre units was examined. Suitable unit parameters were determined by measuring loss increases with lateral force and at low temperature. 216-fibre cable was manufactured using the nylon-extruded units, and cabling loss increase was found to be only 0.1 dB/km.
