Abstract
A fiber optic cable has one or more optical fibers, an inner tube surrounding the optical fibers, a strength member, an inner jacket surrounding the inner tube and strength member, and an outer jacket surrounding the inner jacket without being adhered to the inner jacket such that the outer jacket is easily strippable from the inner jacket. The inner jacket is constructed of a flexible, flame resistant material such as braided glass fibers, while the outer jacket may be constructed of a stiffer, flame retardant material such as polyvinyl chloride.
