ABSTRACT:
A tight buffer optical fiber ribbon is formed from a plurality of optical fibers, each of which has a glass core, a primary coating and a second tight buffer layer. The ribbon includes first and second stand off legs, each having an inner strength core and an outer tight buffer layer. The plurality of optical fibers are coupled to one another in a substantially sequential ribbon arrangement via their tight buffer layer. The first stand off leg is attached to the substantially sequential ribbon arrangement of the optical fibers at a first end, and the second stand off leg is attached to the substantially sequential ribbon arrangement of the optical fibers at a an opposite second end.
