The present disclosure provides an intermittently bonded optical fibre ribbon. The intermittently bonded optical fibre ribbon includes a plurality of optical fibres. The plurality of optical fibres are bonded intermittently along the length by a plurality of bonded portions spaced apart by a plurality of un-bonded portions. The plurality of bonded portions is defined by a bonded length Land the plurality of un-bonded portions is defined by an un-bonded length. In addition, at least one of the bonded length Land the un-bonded length varies along a predefined length of adjacent optical fibres of the plurality of optical fibres.

A ribbed and grooved fiber cable () includes a core with a plurality of optical fibers, a sheath () enveloping the core and one or more strength members () embedded in the sheath (). The strength members () are coated with a water blocking coating material having at least one of an ultraviolet (UV) curable water swellable resin composition and a layer of ethylene acrylic acid (EAA). Particularly, the water blocking coating material applied over the strength members () has a thickness of 50&#xb1;10 microns. The sheath () of the cable () has at least one of a plurality of ribs () and grooves () on an external surface of the sheath (), and a plurality of ribs () and grooves () on an internal surface of the sheath (). The plurality of ribs () have variable height.
