摘要

It is disclosed a microbundle optical cable such as, for instance, a riser cable. The optical cable comprises: an outer jacket and a plurality of microbundles housed in the outer jacket. At least one of said microbundles comprises an optical fiber ribbon enclosed in a microbundle coating. The at least one microbundle comprises a longitudinal axis and a cross-section taken on a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The cross-section may comprise a first dimension and a second dimension. The first dimension is higher than the second dimension. Therefore, the cross-section shape is an elongated cross shape.
