description The present invention is a strengthened fiber optic cable and the process for inserting the strengthened cable into a duct. The invention consists of pre-coating a fiber optic waveguide with an ultra violet (UV)/visible light curable resin such that the resin buffers the fiber optic waveguide. The pre-coated fiber optic waveguide is then cured in an UV/visible light oven at a temperature at ambient or above. An UV/visible light curable resin is pre-heated to a selected temperature and the buffered fiber optic waveguide and the at least one reinforcing fiber are transported through a binding resin bath, the fiber optic waveguide maintaining linear alignment throughout the bath as at least one reinforcing fiber is disposed about the fiber optic waveguide. The resin coated fiber optic waveguide and the least one reinforcing fiber are then cured in an UV/visible light curing station so as to form a fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable is then transported to and insertion means which imparts sufficient translational force to the cable to impel the cable to a selected location in a duct.
