ABSTRACT:
A single mode optical fiber ribbon cable is disclosed. In preferred embodiments, the cable comprises a filling compound having a critical yield stress less than about 70 Pa at 20.degree. C. and/or fibers having a coating that comrises a low modulus (less than about 1.5.multidot.10.sup.6 Pa at 20.degree. C.) inner coating and a high modulus (more than 10.sup.8 Pa at 20.degree. C.) outer coating. Communication cable according to the invention can have low cabling loss, is adapted for array joining, can have high fiber density, and can advantageously be used in short-haul applications such as for metropolitan trunk lines or loop, as well as for long-haul applications.
