Fiber optic cables having a coupling agent

Fiber optic cables having a coupling agent

Disclosed are fiber optic cables having a cable jacket or buffer tube with a cavity. Disposed within the cavity are at least one optical fiber and a coupling agent. The coupling agent acts to couple the at least one optical fiber to the cable jacket or buffer tube with a predetermined force, but the...

description Disclosed are fiber optic cables having a cable jacket or buffer tube with a cavity. Disposed within the cavity are at least one optical fiber and a coupling agent. The coupling agent acts to couple the at least one optical fiber to the cable jacket or buffer tube with a predetermined force, but the coupling agent does not substantially fill a cross-section area of the cavity, thereby providing a nearly "dry" fiber optic cable. Additionally, the fiber optic cable can optionally include one or more water-swellable components for blocking the migration of water within the cavity. Variations include fiber optic cables having the desired flame-retardant ratings for indoor use, outdoor cables with adequate water-blocking, and/or cables suitable for indoor/outdoor use.
