Abstract
The present disclosure provides a formfitting loose tube for optic cables. The formfitting loose tube includes a loose tube wall. The loose tube wall includes first sides, second sides, a plurality of deformation induction tabs and a plurality of fiber optics stacked together having a shape form. The plurality of deformation induction tabs includes curving sections. The curving sections intersect the first sides and the second sides at intersections. The first sides and the second sides of the loose tub wall are configured to fit the shape form of the plurality of fiber optics stacked together. The plurality of deformation induction tabs induces elastic deformation of the loose tube wall under external stress.
