ABSTRACT:
Fiber optic drop cables are disclosed that are suitable for automated preconnectorization. In one embodiment, an optical waveguide is disposed in a buffer tube that has two strength components disposed on opposite sides thereof and a plurality of strength members. The plurality of strength members are disposed at a plurality respective interstices located between the buffer tube and the two strength components and shaped into a plurality of substantially triangular shapes for improving the balancing of the residual stresses in the fiber optic cable caused by the shrinkage of a cable jacket during cooling. In another embodiment, a fiber optic cable includes a tonable lobe connected by a web that is frangible and the web includes predetermined ratios for easily and reliable separation of the tonable lobe.
