Fiber optic drop cable and method for using the same in field installation

A fiber optic drop cable (30A-30H) that comprises one or more optical fiber cores (32), an optical core section (31) in which the one or more optical fiber cores (32) are embedded horizontally along the sectional view of the optical core section (31); two strength member sections (33) that are respectively disposed at two lateral sides of the optical core section (31); and two grooves (34) that are respectively disposed at the two joining locations between the two strength member sections (33) and the optical core section (31) on one surface of the optical core section (31) to facilitate tearing the two strength members (33) apart from the optical core section (31). After the two strength member sections (33) are separated from the optical core section (31) along the two grooves, the separated section of the optical core section (31) becomes more flexible which enables the craft to easily manipulate and deploy the optical core section (31) in filed installation.
