A buffered optical fiber includes a coated optical fiber loosely contained within a space delimited by the inner surface of a plastic tube. The outer surfa ce of the coated optical fiber is formed of non-stick material such as TEFLON. No filler material is inserted between the coated optical fiber and the inner surfa ce of the plastic tube. The plastic tube may have an inner diameter of 400 .mu.m and a n outer diameter of 900 .mu.m. The buffered optical fiber is suitable for use in interconnect cables.
