Abstract

The present disclosure provides an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a central strength member. The central strength member lies substantially along a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes at least one buffer tube. The at least one buffer tube is stranded helically around the central strength member. Each of the at least one buffer tube encapsulates at least one optical fiber. The optical fiber cable includes a first layer. The first layer circumferentially surrounds a core of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a second layer. The second layer is formed of high density polyethylene. The optical fiber cable includes at least one set of water swellable yarn and a plurality of ripcords.
