An optical communication cable comprising: a cable body including a body passage within the cable body; a plurality of optical transmission units located within the body passage, each optical transmission unit including at least one optical fiber; wherein the plurality of optical transmission units include an outer group of optical transmission units and an inner group of optical transmission units; wherein the inner group of optical transmission units is wrapped around each other forming a first wrapped pattern that includes at least one spirally wrapped section having a first pitch length; wherein the outer group of optical transmission units surround and are wrapped around the inner group of optical transmission units forming a second wrapped pattern that includes at least one spirally wrapped section having a second pitch length; and characterized in that the second pitch length is greater than the first pitch length such that a total length of each optical fiber of the outer group of optical transmission units is substantially the same as a total length of each optical fiber of the inner group of optical transmission units within at least one 1 meter length of the cable; and a third group of transmission units, wherein the third group of transmission units surround and are wrapped around the outer group of optical transmission units forming a third wrapped pattern that includes at least one spirally wrapped section having a third pitch length, and wherein the third pitch length is greater than the second pitch length such that a total length of each optical fiber of the third group of optical transmission units is substantially the same as a total length of each optical fiber of the outer group or the inner group of optical transmission units. a cable body including a body passage within the cable body; a plurality of optical transmission units located within the body passage, each optical transmission unit including at least one optical fiber; wherein the plurality of optical transmission units include an outer group of optical transmission units and an inner group of optical transmission units; wherein the inner group of optical transmission units is wrapped around each other forming a first wrapped pattern that includes at least one spirally wrapped section having a first pitch length; wherein the outer group of optical transmission units surround and are wrapped around the inner group of optical transmission units forming a second wrapped pattern that includes at least one spirally wrapped section having a second pitch length; and characterized in that the second pitch length is greater than the first pitch length such that a total length of each optical fiber of the outer group of optical transmission units is substantially the same as a total length of each optical fiber of the inner group of optical transmission units within at least one 1 meter length of the cable; and a third group of transmission units, wherein the third group of transmission units surround and are wrapped around the outer group of optical transmission units forming a third wrapped pattern that includes at least one spirally wrapped section having a third pitch length, and wherein the third pitch length is greater than the second pitch length such that a total length of each optical fiber of the third group of optical transmission units is substantially the same as a total length of each optical fiber of the outer group or the inner group of optical transmission units.
