Abstract: An optical cable is provided. The optical cable includes a cable body having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a lumen and one or more optical transmission elements located within the lumen. The optical cable includes a groove array comprising a plurality of grooves located on the outer surface of the cable body. Each groove defines a trough having a lower surface located between peaks on either side of the trough, and the groove array includes an average groove spacing. The optical cable includes an ink layer applied to the cable body at the location of the groove array. The groove array and the ink layer are formed to limit abrasion experienced by the ink layer.

Abstract: An armored cable includes a core and an armor surrounding the core. The armor includes at least one armor access feature formed in the armor to weaken the armor at the access feature. A jacket surrounds the armor and the jacket includes a primary portion of a first extruded polymeric material and at least one discontinuity of a second extruded polymeric material in the primary portion, the discontinuity extending along a length of the cable, and the first material being different from the second material, wherein the bond between the discontinuity and the primary portion allows the jacket to be separated at the discontinuity to provide access to the core, and the at least one armor access feature and the at least one discontinuity are arranged proximate to each other to allow access to the core.

Abstract: An optical communication cable includes a cable body having an outer surface, an inner surface, a channel defined by the inner surface and a longitudinal axis extending through the center of the channel. The outer surface of the cable body defines a profile feature such that the outer surface at the profile feature is asymmetric about the longitudinal axis. The profile feature having at least two peaks and at least one trough between the peaks, and the profile feature extends axially along at least a portion of the length of the outer surface of the cable body. The cable includes an optical transmission element located in the channel, and an ink layer positioned along an outer surface of the trough of the profile feature. The peaks are configured to limit contact of the ink layer with surfaces during installation and thereby act to protect the ink layer from abrasion.
