Figure 1 Fiber coatings, tight buffer and loose tube. [4]
Figure 1 shows different coating methods. There are two types of secondary
protection for fibers, loose tube and tight buffer. Usually tight buffer cable is
used inside buildings and loose tube outdoors. Tight buffer is typically just
another coating on top of the primary protection. The diameter is typi-
cally900
. In Loose tube protection, a hollow tube surrounds the fiber or
fibers. The diameter is around
23
. In Figure 2, all the core structures
are presented. [2] [3]
