Abstract: An optical fiber cable includes a central strength member 11 surrounded by a plurality of optical fiber containing tubes 20, the central strength member and tubes being encircled by a sheath 35. The optical fiber containing tubes have a generally frustum or truncated isosceles triangular shaped profile with the base 22 of the triangular shape having a curvature corresponding to the inside surface of the cable sheath and a top 24 (truncated edge or corner) of the triangle opposite and generally parallel to the base having a curvature corresponding to the outside diameter of the central strength member, the plurality of tubes being positioned adjacent to one another in a pie shape to thereby form a central channel within the cable for the central strength member. The truncated isosceles triangular shape of the tubes have a larger cross-sectional area within the tubes for carrying optical fiber cables. Additionally, the shape of the tubes provides improved resistance to compression of the cable.
