Abstract
A method for forming a cable may include providing a strength member that includes a plurality of strength fibers positioned within a shapeable resin material. A shape of the strength member may be modified along its longitudinal length while twisting the strength member with one or more fiber optic components. The modified shape of the strength member may then be fixed within a desired operating temperature range of the cable, and a jacket may be formed around the strength member and the one or more optical fiber components.
