    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a subunit having a first interior surface and a first exterior surface. The first interior surface defines a central bore along a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable. At least one optical fiber is disposed within the central bore of the subunit, and a plurality of strengthening yarns is disposed around the subunit. A cable sheath disposed around the plurality of strengthening yarns. The cable sheath has a second interior surface and a second exterior surface. The second exterior surface defines an outermost surface of the optical fiber cable. The cable sheath includes from 55% to 68% by weight of a mineral-based flame retardant additive and from 35% to 45% by weight of a polymer blend. The polymer blend includes a co-polyester or co-polyether and a polyolefin or a polyolefin elastomer.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a cable sheath having an interior surface and an exterior surface. The interior surface defines a longitudinal bore and the exterior surface defines an outermost surface of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable also includes a plurality of micromodules disposed within the longitudinal bore. Each micromodule of the plurality of micromodules includes a micromodule jacket surrounding at least one optical fiber. The micromodule jacket of each of the plurality of micromodules is made of a first polymer composition having a first melt temperature, and the cable sheath is made of a second polymer composition having a second melt temperature that is less than the first melt temperature. The first polymer composition and the second polymer compositions are both low smoke, zero halogen materials.
