Abstract: Disclosed is an improved buffering method for controlling excess fiber length (EFL) and reducing post-extrusion shrinkage in loose buffer tubes. In this way, the method yields first-quality loose buffer tubes not only during steady-state operation but also during ramping, thereby increasing production efficiency and reducing waste.

Dynamic caterpuller system and method for manufacturing buffer tubes for fiber optic cables
Waldemar Stöcklein
- 08 Mar 2013
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic caterpuller is used to pass a closed pipe through which passes a liquid and the fiber optic assembly, such that the flow rate of the liquid is different than the speed of the fiber assembly through the pipe such that drag is imparted on the fiber-optic assembly by the liquid.
