A fiber optic cable (910) includes core elements (914) wound in a pattern of stranding, the core elements (914) comprising tubes surrounding optical fibers. The fiber optic cable further includes an binder film (918) surrounding the stranded core elements (914). The binder film (918) is continuous peripherally around the core elements (914), forming a continuous closed loop when viewed in cross-section, and continuous lengthwise along a length of the cable that is at least a meter. Further, the binder film (918) is in radial tension and opposes outwardly transverse deflection of the core elements (914). |
