Abstract
Single mode optical fiber cable with a plurality of buffer tubes wherein the buffer tubes each encase a plurality of single mode optical fibers, the fibers run in a random pattern through the buffer tube and the remaining space is filled with soft filler material which prevents the ingress of moisture while allowing free movement of the fibers within the tubes, the fibers all have equal overlength.
