Abstract

A fiber optic cable comprises a core subassembly comprising at least one optical fiber and a tube surrounding the optical fiber. A multi-layered jacket surrounds the core subassembly, wherein the jacket comprises an inner layer comprising a flame retardant (FR) material and an outer layer comprising a non flame retardant material having a lower coefficient of friction than the flame retardant material. A method of manufacturing an optical fiber cable includes providing a core subassembly and co-extruding a multi-layered jacket around the core subassembly, wherein the multi-layered jacket includes an inner layer comprising a flame retardant (FR) material and an outer layer comprising a non flame retardant material having a lower coefficient of friction than the flame retardant.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 260,843, filed November 30, 2015, under 35 U.S.C. §119 and is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to cables, such as fiber optic cables, that can support and carry optical fibers and other cable components. Background technique [0004] Fiber optic cables, especially those in jurisdictions and applications with strict fire and smoke regulations, are designed to minimize the spread of fire, smoke, toxic gases, and other fire-related hazards. Often thick jackets of flame retardant (FR) and low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) materials are used to meet the demands of these types of fiber optic cables. However, these types of cables are often intended for installation in ducts, whereby the cable is blown or sprayed into the duct, depending on the installation method. T...
