Abstract
A buffer tube and fiber optic cable having an optimized ribbon stack packaging configuration, minimized attenuation problems and a reduced overall cable diameter and weight is provided. Specifically, a packaging configuration utilizing parallel lying and perpendicular lying fiber ribbons is configured into a ribbon stack having a square shape or cross-type configuration. Cushions may be placed between the high-fiber count ribbon stack and buffer tube walls thus enabling the ribbon stack to center itself within the tube thereby decreasing attenuation problems.
