Abstract
An optical fiber cable construction includes a first fiber marker which allows one initially to determine a linear length of the optical fiber between first and second points, and a second marker which allows one to determine a linear length of the fiber optical cable between the first and second points, thus ensuring that the length of the fiber initially exceeds the length of the cable during initial installation so as to minimize the chances of excessive temperature induced stress being imposed on the optical fiber during its useful life.
