Abstract
A cable includes a cable core including a central strength member. A plurality of buffer tubes, with each buffer tube including a plurality of optical fibers therein, and a plurality of filler rods are stranded about the central strength member. A characterizing feature is that a diameter of each of the plurality of filler rods is larger than a diameter of each of the plurality of buffer tubes. A jacket surrounds the cable core.
