ABSTRACT:
A thin, relatively flat fiber optic cable assembly for laying under carpet. The cable assembly includes at least one resilient buffer tube and at least one optical conductor disposed inside the tube and being movable therein. The cable assembly includes a strength member having limited elasticity and a plastic jacket formed about the tube and the strength member with the jacket having a flat top surface and a flat bottom surface disposed parallel to the top surface. The tube and the strength member are positioned in the jacket midway between the top and bottom surfaces with the tube and the strength member being spaced and with their respective axes positioned in a plane which is generally parallel to the top and bottom surfaces so that a bend can be formed in the cable by removing a section of the jacket to expose the strength member and the buffer tube. A method of forming and defining the turn using the fiber optic cable assembly is also disclosed.
