Abstract

Fiber optic cables and assemblies useful for distribution of the optical fibers to a network are disclosed. The fiber optic cables include a first strength component and a second strength component with a cable jacket generally surrounding the first and second strength components. One or more compartments are defined between the first and second strength components for housing one or more optical fibers. The optical fibers of the fiber optic cable are easily accessible by the craft for distribution to the network, thereby allowing the construction of assemblies that are suitable for distribution of the optical fibers to the network.
