“…The diameter of the primary coated fiber and the width of fiber ribbon are 0.25 mm and 2.1 mm [1][2][3], which are the same as those of the primary coated fibers and the fiber ribbons in 1000-fiber cable. The same coating materials and fiber parameters were used for all the fiber ribbons employed in the experiments.…”

“…Each stranded slotted-rod unit has five slots, and five fiber ribbons are inserted tightly into each slot. The stranded slotted-rod unit contains 200 fibers, and has the same structure as the units in a 1000-fiber cable [1][2][3]. Several stranded slotted-rod units are stranded along the central slotted-rod unit.…”

“…Various types of optical fiber cable have been researched and developed, and 1000-fiber gas-pressurized or water-blocking cable has been practically applied [1][2][3]. High-density and high-fiber-count optical fiber cables containing more than 1000 fibers are required in order to realize subscriber networks both economically and efficiently.…”

This paper proposes high-density and high-fiber-count optical fiber cable, containing fiber ribbons inserted into slots and with a total number of fibers exceeding the current maximum of 1000. Cable structure and cable diameter, which are important factors for economical and efficient construction, are investigated theoretically and experimentally and the optimum structure for achieving small cable diameter is obtained. Based on the results, a 2000-fiber cable was manufactured and its performance was evaluated. The transmission, mechanical and midspan access characteristics of the cable was confirmed to be excellent.
