Abstract

Micromodule breakout cables are constructed to pass selected burn tests while maintaining a desired degree of accessibility and durability. The micromodule cables can be incorporated in data centers and are robust enough to serve as furcation legs while allowing hand accessibility. The cables can incorporate optical fibers with low delta attenuation and can have low skew.
