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 20):
A plenum rated, fire retardant and low smoke optical communication cable comprising:\n an outer cable jacket including an outer surface defining the outermost surface of the cable; a central strength member surrounded by the outer cable jacket, the central strength member comprising:\n a tensile strength element; and \n a polymer overcoat layer surrounding the tensile strength member; and \n a plurality of optical fiber subunits located around the central strength member within the outer cable jacket, each optical fiber subunit comprising:\n a subunit jacket defining a subunit passage; and \n a plurality of optical fibers located within the subunit passage, each optical fiber comprising:\n a glass core; and \n a polymer buffer coating surrounding the glass core and having an outer diameter greater than 400 \u03bcm; \n \n wherein the number of optical fiber subunits is at least three and the number of optical fibers in each subunit is at least two; wherein the outer cable jacket is formed from a polyvinylchloride material including a fire retardant material; wherein the polymer buffer coating is formed from a polyethylene material including a fire retardant material; wherein the subunit jacket is formed from a polyethylene material including a fire retardant material; wherein the polymer overcoat layer is formed from a polyvinylchloride 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.
