Abstract
An underwater fiber optic cable includes an optical fiber, and a jacket surrounding the optical fiber. The jacket includes a polymer having a first density, and particles distributed throughout the polymer having a second density greater than the first density. The particles have a predetermined volume fraction to thereby provide the underwater cable with a predetermined buoyancy when underwater.
