Abstract: Disclosed is an armored fire resistant fiber optic cable including a core comprising a central strength member, and a plurality of buffer tubes arranged around said central strength member, each buffer tube containing a plurality of optical fibers; a first mica layer arranged around the core; an inner sheath surrounding the first mica layer; a metal wire armor surrounding the inner sheath; and an outer sheath surrounding and in direct contact with the metal wire armor, wherein a second mica layer surrounds the inner sheath and the metal wire armor surrounds the second mica layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fire resistant, all dielectric fiber optic cable with high fiber count. The cable comprises a core including a central strength member and buffer tubes containing fibers, arranged around the central strength member. A first mica layer is arranged around the core. A glass yarn layer surrounds the first mica layer and is in direct contact therewith. A inner sheath surrounds the glass yarn layer. A second mica layer surrounds the inner sheath. An outer sheath surrounds the second mica layer. The buffer tubes contain a water-blocking filling material comprising a silicone gel, wherein said silicone gel has a drop point of at least 200° C.
