A fiber optic cable 101,501 includes a strain element 103,503 including at least one first optical fiber 105,505a-d and an optical element including at least one second optical fiber 115,405a-h. The optical element is compliantly coupled with the strain element to transfer a portion of strain experienced by the strain element to the optical element. A fiber optic cable includes a strain transfer member 109,507, a central optical fiber disposed through the strain transfer member, and a tight jacket 107,509a-d mechanically coupling the central optical fiber and the strain transfer member. The fiber optic cable further includes a compliant layer 117, disposed about and affixed to the strain transfer member; a peripheral optical fiber disposed in the compliant layer, such that a portion of the strain experienced by the strain transfer member is transferred to the peripheral optical fiber via the compliant layer; and a protective cover disposed about the compliant layer. |
