ABSTRACT:
A buffered fiber optic ribbon including at least one fiber optic ribbon, at least one cushioning material, and at least one buffer layer. In one embodiment, the buffer layer has a generally flat portion that contacts a portion of the fiber optic ribbon. In another embodiment, the cushioning material is disposed in at least two regions that are separated by a portion of the buffer layer. In other embodiments, the buffer layer generally inhibits the fiber optic ribbon from twisting within the buffer layer.
