Abstract:
An optical communication cable is provided. The optical communication cable includes a cable jacket and a plurality of optical fiber subunits surrounded by the cable jacket. Each optical fiber subunit includes a subunit jacket and a plurality of optical fibers located within the subunit passage. Each optical fiber includes an outer polymer buffer coating, such as a tight buffer coating. The outer cable jacket and/or the outer polymer buffer coating of the optical fibers is formed from a halogen containing polymer material including a fire retardant material, and the subunit jacket is formed from a polyolefin polymer material including a fire retardant material.

Claim (Index 1):
A fire retardant and low smoke optical communication cable, comprising:\n a cable jacket; a plurality of optical fiber subunits surrounded by the cable jacket, each optical fiber subunit comprising:\n a subunit jacket defining a subunit passage; and \n a plurality of tight buffered optical fibers located within the subunit passage, each optical fiber comprising:\n a glass core; and \n a polymer tight buffer coating surrounding the glass core, the polymer tight buffer coating having an outer diameter greater than 400 \u03bcm; \n \n wherein the cable jacket is formed from a halogen containing polymer material including a fire retardant material; wherein the polymer tight buffer coating of each optical fiber is formed from a halogen containing polymer material including a fire retardant material; and wherein each subunit jacket is formed from a non-halogen containing polymer material including a fire retardant material; wherein the optical communication cable is plenum burn test rated as described in NFPA 262 utilizing the Steiner Tunnel burn test.
