Abstract: An optical fiber ribbon may be intermittently bonded with a repeating pattern of bond lengths and gap lengths configured to enhance flexibility and robustness of the optical fiber ribbon. The ribbon may include a plurality of optical fibers where a first adjacent two of the optical fibers may be intermittently connected together by the bond portions arranged in a longitudinal pattern which may have a constant bond length or may have a constant distance between bond portions. A second adjacent two of the optical fibers may be intermittently connected together by the bond portions arranged in the longitudinal pattern where a first bond portion of the second adjacent two of the optical fibers may be offset from the first bond portion of the first adjacent two of the optical fibers in the longitudinal direction by a first offset length (O1).

Abstract: An optical fiber cable includes a cable jacket, a multiple-channel separator within the cable jacket, a plurality of fiber subunits within the cable jacket, and one or more strength members. The separator is made of a fire retardant material devoid of any embedded strength members. Each fiber subunit may include multiple optical fibers and extend within a respective separator channel. The one or more strength members are configured to provide tensile strength to the optical fiber cable.

Abstract: An optical fiber cable includes a rollable ribbon, reinforcing yarns, and a jacket. The Rollable ribbon has a plurality of optical fibers. Each optical fiber has a fiber strain greater than 0.6 percent under standard installation tensile load. The jacket encloses the rollable ribbon, the optical fibers and reinforcing yarns at a packing density greater than about 1.25 fibers per square millimeter. The combined effect of optical fibers having a fiber strain greater than 0.6 percent under standard installation tensile load and a small amount of reinforcing yarn provides the optical fiber cable with high proof strain, compact diameter, and high packing density.
