Abstract
The present invention discloses a fiber optical cable with a plurality of bendable optical fiber ribbon. The fiber optical cable with bendable ribbons increases the total fiber counts compared to conventional optical fiber ribbon cables by eliminating empty spaces of the conventional cables due to stacking of the ribbons in the cross-sectionally circular shape of the loose tubes and the cable jacket. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a bendable ribbon will further allow ribbon labeling on a flat side of the ribbon.
