Abstract
An optical fiber cable package has a kingwire and a plurality of acrylate primary coated optical fibers all embedded in a one-shot extrusion of low melting point plastic, e.g. Hytrel 40. The fibers have a zero angle of lay. The package is particularly but not exclusively suitable for use in an optical fiber submarine cable.
