The length of the loose tubes and their position on the strength member was modelled along with an analysis of where the optical fibres lie in the loose tubes. date: 1996 type: Study Group Report type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://miis.maths.ox.ac.uk/miis/485/1/Modelling-optical-fibre-cable.pdf identifier: Fackerell, T. and Fraser, B.
