RUGGED FIBER OPTIC CABLE

摘要

An optical fiber cable having a plurality (12) of optical fiber members (14). Each optical fiber member (14) includes an optical fiber (16) and a protective coating (18) surrounding the optical fiber (16). A polymer coating (20) surrounds the plurality (12) of optical fiber members (14) and a portion of the polymer coating (20) is located between at least some of the optical fiber members (14). The optical fiber members (14) and the polymer coating (20) form an optical fiber unit (10). A tight buffer (22) surrounds the optical fiber unit (10).
