ABSTRACT:
A laminated fiber optic ribbon cable, and method of manufacturing same, is disclosed. The cable comprises top and bottom sheath layers, at least two elongate reinforcement members each located along respective sides of the bottom sheath layer, and a plurality of spaced apart and parallel waveguides positioned upon the bottom sheath layer between the two reinforcement members. Subsequent to the introduction of insulary filler material between the sheath layers, longitudinal edge portions of the sheath layers are bonded together at each side of the cable, with longitudinal gaps being thereby defined along each side of the cable between the bonded sheath edge portions and the two cable reinforcement members. Preparation of the cable for termination may thereby be effectuated by cutting into the longitudinal gaps and peeling back the top sheath layer to access the waveguides and strength members therebeneath.
