Abstract
A fiber optic cable having optical sub-units each respectively including at least one optical fiber ribbon. The optical sub-units are removably connected together by a web of jacketing material. The optical fiber ribbons are generally twisted about their respective longitudinal axes by stranded strength fibers disposed about the optical ribbons. The fiber optic cable can be used as a stand alone component or, for example, in fan-out or break-out cables.
