ABSTRACT:
An optical communication cable includes an elongated flexible strip or tape, one or more optical fibers affixed to the tape, and an adhesive on a surface of the tape.

Various fixtures are provided for interconnecting and installing the optical cable. Applicator tools for installing the optical cable on a surface are disclosed.
