Abstract: The present invention relates to optical fiber communication cables, and more particularly, relates to foamed polyvinylidene fluoride polymer filler rods used in optical fiber cable constructions. The foamed polyvinylidene fluoride polymer filler rod may or may not contain a central strength member. This invention includes cables containing the foamed PVDF filler rods of this invention. The present disclosure provides filler rods that have higher melting temperature than the conventional filler rods and methods of making the filler rods.
