Zusammenfassung:A fiber optic cable includes a tube formed from a flame-retardant material, an optical fiber disposed in a cavity of the tube, and powder comprising flame-retardant particles. At least a portion of the powder is mechanically attached to a surface of the cavity, where the mechanical attachment of the powder allows a portion of flame-retardant particles of the powder to protrude beyond the surface and not be completely embedded therein.
