ABSTRACT:
A strain compensated fiber optic cable composed of a hollow central member made from an elastic material capable of being physically enlarged, such enlargement capable of being at least partially reversed upon demand; and, a plurality of optical fibers having a first pitch diameter disposed, either in the sidewall of the central member, or on the outermost surface of the central member, so that upon enlargement of the central member, the first pitch diameter of the optical fiber can be changed to a second pitch diameter and upon reversal of the enlargement, the second pitch diameter can be changed to either the first pitch diameter or another pitch diameter.
