Abstract:
An optical communication cable and related systems and methods are provided. The optical cable includes a plurality of wrapped core elements, and the outer surfaces of adjacent wrapped core elements are joined together by discrete bond sections. The discrete bonds sections may be structures such as laser welds, ultrasonic welds, or adhesive material. The discrete bonds hold the wrapped core elements together in the wrapped pattern, such as an SZ stranding pattern.

Claim (Index 1):
A core for an optical communication cable comprising:\n a plurality of elongate core elements wrapped around each other such that a portion of a length of the plurality of wrapped elongate core elements forms a spiral portion around a central area surrounded by the plurality of core elements in a circumferential direction when viewed in cross-section, wherein an outer surface of each core element is adjacent to an outer surface of one of the other core elements in the clockwise direction and is adjacent to an outer surface of one of the other core elements in the counterclockwise direction; and a plurality of bonds between the outer surface of each core element and the outer surface of the core element adjacent in the clockwise direction and between the outer surface of each core element and the outer surface of the core element adjacent in the counterclockwise direction.
