A fiber optic distribution cable includes a central inner jacket formed from one of a polyvinyl chloride or a low smoke zero halogen material, a plurality of optical fibers disposed within the inner jacket, and a plurality of first strength members disposed within the inner jacket. The fiber optic distribution cable further includes an outer jacket surrounding the central inner jacket, the outer jacket formed from the one of the polyvinyl chloride or the low smoke zero halogen material, and a plurality of second strength members disposed between the outer jacket and the central inner jacket. A fiber density of the cable is greater than 0.65 fibers per square millimeter.

Reduced diameter ruggedized fiber optic distribution cables

A tactical deployable cable is provided. The cable includes a fiber optic unit. The fiber optic unit includes a plurality of optical fibers, each of the plurality of optical fibers having a maximum nominal outer diameter of less than or equal to about 250 microns. The fiber optic unit further includes a UV cured resin layer surrounding and encapsulating the plurality of optical fibers. The fiber optic unit further includes a thermoplastic elastomer buffer layer surrounding the UV cured resin layer. The cable may include a thermoplastic jacket surrounding the fiber optic unit, and a plurality of strength members disposed between the jacket and the fiber optic unit.

Tactical deployable cables

A reduced diameter composite microcable of low weight that is capable of withstanding a tensile load of at least 300 pounds with less than 0.6% fiber strain, is capable of operation between &#x2212;40 C and 70 C with less than 0.1 dB/km attenuation change at 1550 nm, and whose outer diameter is less than 15 mm is provided. The microcable includes at least one buffer tube, at least one electrical power conductor, at least one rigid strength member cabled together into a multi-unit core, wherein a plurality of optical fibers are placed within the at least one buffer tube.

Optical broadband node cable

A micro-duct cable includes a center member and a plurality of buffer tubes surrounding the center member. A plurality of fibers are disposed in each of the plurality of buffer tubes. Each of the plurality of buffer tubes contains greater than or equal to 24 fibers. The micro-duct cable further includes a cable jacket surrounding the plurality of buffer tubes and the center member. A maximum outer diameter of the cable is less than 13 millimeters and a modulus of elasticity of the cable is greater than or equal to 800 kpsi.
