Claim:
1. An optical fiber cable comprising: a buffer tube substantially present along a longitudinal axis, wherein the buffer tube encloses a plurality of optical fibers, wherein the buffer tube is dry, wherein the buffer tube is made of a low smoke zero halogen material and wherein each of the plurality of optical fibers is color coded from a set of standard fiber colors and wherein the set of standard fiber colors comprises twelve colors; a first layer surrounding the buffer tube; a second layer surrounding the first layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer provide a kink resistance, a crush resistance and a flexibility to the optical fiber cable and wherein the second layer is made of a thermoplastic polyurethane material; and one or more strength members embedded inside the second layer, wherein each of the one or more strength members is made of fiber reinforced plastic, wherein each of the one or more strength members is coated with a layer of ethylene acrylic acid, wherein the layer of ethylene acrylic acid prevents slipping of the one or more strength members from the second layer, wherein the optical fiber cable has a cable weight of 52±5% kilogram/kilometer, wherein the optical fiber cable has a kink diameter of 25 millimeters, wherein the optical fiber cable has a crush resistance of 2000 Newton/10000 millimeter
