Fiber optic cable having a low-shrink cable jacket and methods of manufacturing the same

摘要

A fiber optic cable and methods for manufacturing the same, the fiber optic cable (10) including a fiber optic cable core (17), the fiber optic cable core includes at least one optical fiber (12) and a separation layer (16). The separation layer generally surrounds the at least one optical fiber, and a cable jacket generally surrounds the separation layer. The cable jacket is formed from a material having an ultimate ASTM D-412 elongation in the range of about 350 percent to about 700 percent.
