Abstract
A fiber optic cable having at least two interfaces being formed by first and second members. Between the interfaces is at least one retention area having an optical fiber component disposed therein. The retention area is disposed generally longitudinally and non-helically relative to an axis of the cable. The cable may also include a cable jacket substantially surrounding the members, a cushioning zone adjacent the optical fiber component, a water-blocking component and/or an interfacial layer. In another embodiment, a fiber optic cable includes a strength group having at least one strength member and an optical fiber being proof-tested to 125 KPSI or greater.
