[0033] Such as image 3 The illustrated cable 400 has a diameter 450 of 2.0mm and a cross-sectional area 452 of 3.4mm 2 , and the sheath wall thickness 412 is 0.30mm. The strain relief member 420 is formed from four ends of 1420 denier aramid stretchable yarn that is not plied so as to occupy a nominal area of 0.9032mm in the interior of the cable 2 . Optical waveguide 100 occupies an area of 0.0982mm 2 , leaving 0.5280mm 2 422 of free space. Sheath 410 is made of PVC.
[0034] According to the embodiments described above, the free space 422 allows the optical fiber 100 to move back and forth within the interior of the cable jacket 410 in order to reduce bending stress on the optical fiber. The stretchable yarn 420, which may not be twisted, shakes out and fills the empty space 422, but not to the extent that the stretchable yarn 420 unduly restricts the movement of the optical fiber 100.
[0035] The illustrated embodiment has a diameter 450 of 2.0 mm. Exemplary a...

[0043] The breakout cable 600 comprises twelve twinax cables or units 400 with an outer diameter of 1.65mm and a jacket wall thickness of 0.18mm. Strain relief member 420 is formed from aramid stretchable yarn that has not been twisted. Cell jacket 410 is made of PVC.
[0044] Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of a figure-eight tight-buffered cable 700 consisting of a first paired cable 702 and a second paired cable or unit 704 spliced to the first cable 702 The figure-of-eight tight-bore cable 700 is suitable for applications such as cross-connect jumper boards. Each twinax cable 702 , 704 may be similar or identical to twinax cable 400 in size, composition, and shape, and each twinax cable 702 , 704 includes a cable jacket 712 of thickness 714 and is joined by web 716 . Each cable 702 , 704 includes a strain relief member 720 enclosed in a cable jacket 712 and two optical waveguides 100 .
[0045] According to the embodiments described above, the free space in the du...
