Expanded four fiber unit cable for increased fiber count cables having increased flexibility and fiber strength utilization

摘要

A fiber optic cable includes a plurality of optical fiber subunits, each of the subunits including four fiber optic elements and an enclosing jacket. A plurality of optical fiber subunit assemblies are also included, each of which includes a plurality of the optical fiber subunits and an enclosing micro-sheath. The subunits are stranded around one another. A sheath encloses the plurality of optical fiber subunit assemblies.
