Apparatus and method for removing an insulating layer of a cable. The apparatus comprises a cutting assembly with an adjustable cutting tool rotating around a cable to perform a circumferential cut into an insulating layer. The cutting assembly comprises a control unit for controlling an incision depth of the cutting assembly into the insulating layer. A sensor detects a distance between an outer surface of the insulating layer and an adjacent conducting component. The control unit of the cutting assembly utilizes the sensor data describing the measured distance for dynamically adjusting the incision depth of the cutting tool while the cutting assembly rotates around the cable.

Abstract

In order to produce fibre guides mounted in a metal hollow profile, a flat metal strip is supplied to a forming device. The forming device is designed for continuously forming the supplied flat metal strip into a shape corresponding to the hollow profile. The hollow profile is continuously welded along a longitudinal seam by means of a laser. In a continuous process via a guiding or protecting tube, a filling gel having a viscosity that increases as the temperature decreases and one or more fibre guides are introduced into the welded hollow profile. In order to introduce the fibre guide/s with excess length into the hollow profile, the welded hollow profile is elastically stretched, cooled and then released again. The finished product is received in a receiving unit. The continuous closed-loop control of the excess length of the fibre guide is carried out, inter alia, via the continuous open-loop control of the gel temperature, the laser power and the force applied to the hollow profile for the elastic stretching.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for continuously producing coaxial cables (224) having a thin-walled, radially closed outer conductor of non-ferrous metal, which method comprises the feeding of a flat strip of the non-ferrous metal to a forming device (212), the thickness of the strip corresponding to the wall thickness of the coaxial cable. The forming device is designed to continuously form the fed flat strip into a shape corresponding to the outer conductor of the coaxial cable around a cable core fed before the closing of the outer conductor. After the forming, two opposite edges of the flat strip lie flush against each other in a contact region, which edges are welded to each other by a welding device (216) continuously by means of a laser, which emits light of a wavelength of less than 600 nm. The laser heats a point in a welding region that has a diameter that is less than 20% of the cross-sectional dimension of the coaxial cable. The welded coaxial cable is pulled from the welding region and, after the introduction of a parallel corrugation or helical corrugation, is received in a receiving apparatus (226).

Abstract

The invention relates to a lattice structure comprising a plurality of longitudinal members extending parallel to one another along a main direction of extension and crossmembers (9) distributed along the main direction of extension for mechanically connecting the longitudinal members in pairs so as to form a plurality of polygons (11) each contained in a plane perpendicular to the main direction of extension. According to the invention, each crossmember (9) connecting two longitudinal members comprises a first half-crossmember (9a) with a first end connected to one of the two longitudinal members so as to be able to pivot about a first axis (X1-X'1) and a second half-crossmember (9b) with a first end connected to the other of the two longitudinal members so as to be able to pivot about a second axis (X2-X'2). The two half-crossmembers are connected to one another by an articulating hinge (13) allowing relative rotation of the two half-crossmembers (9a, 9b) about a third axis (X3-X'3). The first, second and third axes are parallel to one another and orthogonal to the main direction of extension, allowing the lattice structure and each crossmember (9) to move from an extended position to a folded position in which the first and second half-crossmembers (9a, 9b) of each crossmember (9) extend substantially parallel next to one another along said main direction of extension.

Abstract

A multi-fiber, fiber optic connector has a housing having a first end for receiving a multi-fiber fiber optic cable and a second end having openings for said fibers from said cable. First and second key slots are provided for accepting a removable key for setting the polarity of the fibers within the connector, with the first and second key slots located on opposing sides of the connector. The connector has guide pins or guide pin receiving holes for guiding the connection with a second connector. The removable key is movable between the first and second key slots, the key slot with the removable key corresponding to a first active slot and the key slot without the removable key corresponding to a non-active slot. When the removable key is in the first key slot, it results in the first key slot being active with the fibers being presented within the connector in a first polarity. When the removable key is moved from the first key slot to the second key slot, activating the second key slot and deactivating the first key slot, the fibers are presented within the connector in a second polarity, reversed from the first polarity.

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a cable with an electrical and/or optical transmission element containing core, which is surrounded by a cover of insulation material is indicated. Generated on the outer side of the cable on its entire length is at least one in the axial direction running strip composed of insulation material, which has a different color than the cover has. The material of the cover and the strip are applied by means of an extruder through co-extrusion simultaneously on the core of the cable so that the material of the strips is integrated into the material of the cover. The material of the cover and strips are applied by means of an extruder which has an inner flow channel and one surrounding all-around outer flow channel which merge. In the outer flow channel is arranged an all-around existing barrier constructed as a ring, that has at least one passage for the required material for a strip. The material of the strips is with pressure forced through the passage and pushed or pressed in the inner flow channel, through which the material for the cover is guided, as a result of which the material of the strips is imprinted or pressed into the material of the cover and thereby is tightly bound with the same or anchored in the same.
