    摘要: An optical fiber cable including a central strength member, a first plurality of tight-buffered ribbon stacks, a binder film, and a cable sheath. The central strength member extends along a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable. The tight-buffered ribbon stacks are SZ-stranded around the central strength member. An interstitial space is provided between adjacent tight-buffered ribbon stacks. A binder film continuously and contiguously surrounds the first plurality of tight-buffered ribbon stacks along the longitudinal axis. The binder film includes first portions and at least one second portion. Each of the at least one second portion of the binder film extends into one of the interstitial spaces of the first plurality of tight-buffered ribbon stacks. The cable sheath continuously and contiguously surrounds the binder film along the longitudinal axis, and the cable sheath is coupled to the first portions of the binder film.

    摘要: Provided are embodiments of an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a cable jacket having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface defines a central cable bore, and the outer surface defines an outermost surface of the optical fiber cable and a cable cross-sectional area (AC). At least one buffer tube is disposed within the central cable bore. Each buffer tube has an interior surface defining a buffer tube cross-sectional area (ATube, ID). A plurality of optical fibers (N) are disposed within the at least one buffer tube. Each optical fiber has a fiber diameter of 160 microns to 200 microns. The plurality of optical fibers have a total fiber area (AF). The buffer tube has a free space (1−AF/ATube, ID) of at least 37%, and the optical fiber cable has a fiber density (N/AC) of at least 3.25 fibers/mm2.
