TALCUM-FREE FLAME RETARDANT FIBER OPTICAL CABLE WITH MICRO-MODULES

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber cable (10). The optical fiber cable (10) includes a cable sheath (14) having an interior surface and an exterior surface. The interior surface defines a longitudinal bore and the exterior surface defines an outermost surface of the optical fiber cable (10). The optical fiber cable (10) also includes a plurality of micromodules (12) disposed within the longitudinal bore. Each micromodule (12) of the plurality of micromodules (12) includes a micromodule jacket (16) surrounding at least one optical fiber (18). The micromodule jacket (16) of each of the plurality of micromodules (12) is made of a first polymer composition having a first melt temperature, and the cable sheath is made of a second polymer composition having a second melt temperature that is less than the first melt temperature. The first polymer composition and the second polymer compositions are both low smoke, zero halogen materials.
