A distributed fiber optic cable including an elongate body and optical fibers longitudinally housed in the elongate body. The optical fibers lie in in sinusoidal paths along longitudinal surfaces of a prism. The distributed fiber optic cable can be used for sensing an acoustic wave by measuring backscattered light from a laser pulse input into the optical fibers in the fiber optic cable.
