ABSTRACT:
A round, compact, optical fiber cable comprises an outer protective jacket of insulating material having a plurality of individual bundles of optical fibers within the outer jacket. Each bundle includes an anti-buckling rod of electrically non-conductive material and encapsulated by a low modulus material. A plurality of optical fibers encapsulated also in a low modulus material is wound on and about the low modulus material encapsulating the rod in a manner that retards contraction and microbending of the optical fibers. Each of the bundles includes one or more protective jackets of electrically, non-conductive material enclosing the plurality of fibers, anti-buckling rod and encapsulating material. Also, means are provided for identifying individual bundles and fibers.
