Abstract: The specification relates to a fiber optic cable assembly. The fiber optic cable assembly includes at least one fiber optic fiber; and an armor for providing crush resistance for the at least one fiber optic cable, the armor being a spiral tube having a gap between each spiraling ring of the spiral tube, the gap allowing the fiber optic cable assembly to have a bend radius of ?5D.

Abstract: The specification relates to a fiber optic cable assembly. The fiber optic cable assembly includes a non-interlocking armor, the non-interlocking armor is a spiral tube having a minimum bend radius of approximately 5 mm, the non-interlocking armor being formed from a single, continuous metallic strip; an inner jacket, the inner jacket having an outside diameter slightly less than an inner diameter of the non-interlocking armor; and at least one fiber optic fiber.

Abstract: The specification relates to a fiber optic cable assembly. The fiber optic cable assembly includes a non-interlocking armor, the non-interlocking armor is a spiral tube having an outside diameter of approximately 1.5 mm-5.5 mm, an inner diameter of approximately 0.75 mm-5.25 mm and a minimum bend radius of approximately 5 mm, the non-interlocking armor being formed from stainless steel; an inner jacket, the inner jacket having an outside diameter slightly less than the inner diameter of the non-interlocking armor; at least one fiber optic fiber; and a strengthening material, the strengthening material being made from aramid fibers and surrounding the at least one fiber optic fiber underneath the inner jacket.
