Flexible extruded cable molding system, methods, and tools

Номер: US20200057227A1
Принадлежит: CommScope Technologies LLC

A molding system includes a flexible cable carrier body that defines a sealing opening that provides access to an interior channel. A continuous length of the flexible cable carrier body is wrapped about a spool for storage and for ease of dispensing at a work site. The continuous length of the cable carrier body is cut to desired custom lengths during installation at the work site. An insertion tool having a plow and feeder channel can facilitate payoff of the fiber/cable into the cable carrier body.
