ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber cable (20) which is particularly suited for shipboard use includes a core (22) and a sheath system (30). The core includes a plurality of optical fiber cable components (24,24) each including a buffered fiber (26) and high strength aramid yarn (27). About the four optical fiber cable components which are arranged about a central organizer (25) is a waterblocking-strength member system (32) which includes at least two spaced layers (33,33) each comprising a superabsorbent material. A strength member layer (40) is disposed between each two adjacent superabsorbent layers. An outer jacket (34) comprises a plastic material which in a preferred embodiment includes a low halogen, fire-resistant material.
