Abstract

See full text

A fiber optic cable includes first and second optical fibers. A fiber section surrounds the fibers and is formed of a first material. First and second strength members are adjacent to the fiber section on opposite sides thereof. A jacket surrounds the first and second strength members and fiber section. The jacket is formed of a second material, stronger than the first material and which does not adhere to the first material. The jacket may be manually torn open to access the fiber section. The fiber section may be manually pinched and stripped cleanly from the fibers. The fiber section acts as a cocoon to protect the fibers when the jacket is opened and cleanly pulls off of the fibers by manual force.
