<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fiber optic distribution cable and a method for manufacturing the cable. <P>SOLUTION: The fiber optic distribution cable (30) presents one or more optical fibers (32) outward of the protective covering for distribution of the fiber toward a subscriber. The length of a distribution optical fiber that is removed from the distribution cable and presented outward of the protective covering is longer than the opening at an access location (AL). In another embodiment, a demarcation point is provided for inhibiting the movement (i.e. pistoning) of the distribution optical fiber into and out of the distribution cable. In still another embodiment, an indexing tube (150) is provided for indexing a tether tube (140) within the indexing tube for providing the distribution optical fiber with a suitable excess fiber length. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
