OPTICAL FIBER UNIT, OPTICAL FIBER BRANCHING METHOD, AND OPTICAL FIBER CABLE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G02B6/04 

FIELD: optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the optical fiber technology. Optical fiber module is provided comprising a plurality of optical fibers, three connecting elements that connect a plurality of optical fibers into a bundle, in which the first bonding element is arranged along the length of the optical fiber bundle so as to be wound on the outer closed loop of the optical fiber bundle. In this case, the first bonding element is connected to the second bonding element at the contact point, where the first bonding element contacts the second bonding element, and is connected to the third bonding element at the contact point, and the first bonding element contacts the third bonding element. And the third bonding element is different from the second bonding element. Winding direction of the first bonding element relative to the fiber bundle is reversed at the point of contact with the second bonding element and at the point of contact with the third bonding element. Plurality of optical fibers is bundled into the tow by three bonding elements, including a first bonding element, a second bonding element, and a third bonding element.

EFFECT: improved performance during the extraction of optical fibers in the optical fiber module in which optical fibers bundle is combined by means of bonding elements.
