Abstract
A fiber optic cable and method of making same are disclosed wherein one or more fiber optic elements are carried along the length of an elongate strength member, a tape is applied coaxially over the fiber optic elements and elongate strength member to establish a cable core, and a protective jacket is disposed coaxially over the cable core. The tape maintains the fiber optic elements and elongate strength member in assembled relation, provides a heat barrier and facilitates stripping of the jacket without disturbing the cable core. A filler material may be interposed between the jacket and the taped cable core.
