Abstract
The present disclosure provides an optical fiber cable (100). The optical fiber cable (100) includes one or more optical fiber (102), one or more loose tube (104) surrounding the one or more optical fiber (102) and an outer sheath (108) surrounding the one or more loose tube (104). The material composition of the one or more loose tube (104) is a mixture of a first material and a second material. The flexural modulus of the first material is at least 1000 MPa. The flexural modulus of the second material is at most 50 MPa. The material composition of the outer sheath (108) is a mixture of a first material and a second material. The flexural modulus of the first material is at least 500 MPa. The flexural modulus of the second material is at most 50 MPa.
