ABSTRACT:
A family of low optical fiber count cables which contains either optical fiber bundles, buffered fibers, or ribbon fibers housed in a core tube whose inner diameter is optimized for a cable containing two buffered fibers. The unoccupied volume of the core tube is filled with a water blocking material and the exterior surface of the core tube is coated with a hydrophilic material applied directly thereto. The core tube is encased in a dielectric jacket or in a metallic jacket. The cables thus formed can be used in a composite cable which includes an electrically conducting cable, and two abutting cables are incased in an outer sheath or jacket, forming a FIG. 8 configuration.
