Abstract:
1. A method of rotating a fiber wrap without twisting a data cable comprising the steps of: determining the maximum bend radius of the data cable using the equation: passing the data cable through a central axel; passing the data cable out of the central axel into a slot in a lower portion of a sun cylinder; wrapping the data cable at least part way around the lower portion of the sun cylinder; routing the data cable into a grove on a face of the lower portion of the sun cylinder; passing the data cable into a channel in the outer surface of an upper portion of the sun cylinder; wrapping the data cable around the upper portion of sun cylinder at least one time; passing the data cable into a channel in the surface of a planetary cylinder; wrapping the data cable at least partly around the planetary cylinder; passing the data cable into a channel in an inner surface of an outer housing; and passing the data cable through a slot in the outer housing.
