Abstract
A fiber optic cable includes: a plurality of optical fibers; a tube circumferentially surrounding the optical fibers, the tube being formed of a first polymeric material; an armor circumferentially surrounding and fixed relative to the tube, the armor being formed of a metallic material; and a jacket circumferentially surrounding the armor, the jacket being formed of a second polymeric material. In this configuration, the cable can provide the requisite mechanical, electrical, handling and connectorizing properties for use in applications such as pavement crossings.
