ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber cable includes a core (22) comprising at least one optical fiber, a plastic tubular member (28) which encloses the core, a jacket (54) which encloses the tubular member and a prefabricated strength system which is interposed between the jacket and the tubular member. The strength system includes a carrier tape (82) which may be comprised of woven glass or impregnated woven glass, for example, and which is wrapped longitudinally about the tubular member. The carrier tape has an adhesive material disposed on one surface thereof for causing a plurality of longitudinally extending strength members (86--86) to remain attached to the tape while the jacket is being extruded over the strength system. In one embodiment, a metallic shield system (52) is disposed about the tubular member and the prefabricated strength system is disposed in engagement with an outer surface of the shield system.
