ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a fiber optic ribbon containing a plurality of optical fibers and at least one high tensile strength zip cord (or ripcord) all aligned one to another in a planar relationship and disposed in a plastic matrix, the zip cord being spaced apart from the surfaces of laterally disposed optical fibers to the extent that when the zipcord is pulled against the plastic matrix the plastic matrix is cut and thus separates the optical fibers into two or more groups, without exposing the optical fibers.
