An optical fiber dispenser (40) includes a bobbin (42), an optical fiber pack (52) overlying the bobbin (42), and a thermal expansion accommodation layer (50) positioned between the bobbin (42) and the optical fiber pack (52). The thermal expansion accommodation layer (50) is made of a material, such as a silicone elastomer, that is readily deformable to accommodate the different longitudinal coefficients of thermal expansion of the bobbin (42) and the optical fiber pack (52). The thermal expansion accommodation layer (50) has a thickness, typically more than about 1/8 inch for a conventional bobbin size, sufficient to reduce any thermal stresses produced by the different longitudinal coefficients of thermal expansion to less than the failure strength of the optical fiber pack (52).

L'invention porte sur un distributeur de fibre optique (40) comprenant une bobine (42), un emballage pour fibre optique (52) recouvrant la bobine (42) et une couche compensatrice de dilatation thermique (50) placée entre la bobine (42) et l'emballage pour fibre optique (52). La couche compensatrice susmentionnée (50) est faite d'un matériau, tel qu'un élastomère de silicone, qui se déforme facilement pour accommoder les différents coefficients longitudinaux de la dilatation thermique de la bobine (42) et de l'emballage pour fibre optique (52). La couche compensatrice de dilatation thermique (50) présente une épaisseur mesurant habituellement plus d'un huitième de pouce environ pour une bobine de taille conventionnelle. Cette épaisseur est suffisante pour réduire toute tension thermique, générée par les différents coefficients longitudinaux de dilatation thermique, de façon que cette dernière soit inférieure à la force de rupture de l'emballage pour fibre optique (52).
