A fiber optic cable includes an outer jacket, an optical fiber ribbon, and strength members. The outer jacket has an elongated transverse cross-sectional profile that defines a major axis and a minor axis. The outer jacket also defines a central fiber passage that extends through the outer jacket along a lengthwise axis of the outer jacket. The optical fiber ribbon is positioned within the central fiber passage. The optical fiber ribbon has a flattened width that is larger than the central fiber passage. The optical fiber ribbon curves along the widthwise orientation of the optical fiber ribbon so as to conform generally to an arc defined by a circumference of the central fiber passage. The optical fiber ribbon is arranged in a helical pattern within the central fiber passage.
