An intermittently bonded ribbon production system is used to manufacture flexible fiber groups for contemporary, high-count cable architectures. It maintains organized fiber alignment for expedited mass fusion splicing, yet allows the fiber group to remain flexible within a compact cable core. Compared with continuously bonded ribbons, intermittent bonded ribbons feature small bond points at predetermined intervals. This strategic placement allows …
