Abstract:
A flat drop cable has notches or other structures for enhancing the stripability of the jacket from a core of the flat drop cable. The notches can have an angled configuration with surfaces that converge as the notches extend into the jacket. Inner edges, or rounded valleys, at the bottoms of the notches can be positioned along a tear path that intersects the core of the flat drop cable at an angle relative to a major axis of the flat drop cable. For example, the notches can be offset from a minor axis of the flat drop cable a sufficient distance such that the notches are positioned outside a central boundary region that extends tangent to sides of the core and parallel to a minor axis of the flat drop cable. The shoulders of the notches, where the notches transition to an outer jacket wall, may also include a radius of curvature.

Claim (Index 6):
The fiber optic cable of  claim 5 , wherein the jacket defines first and second sides separated by the thickness and first and second rounded ends separated by the width, wherein the first open-sided notch is formed in the first side of the jacket between the minor axis and the first rounded end of the jacket, wherein the second open-sided notch is formed in the second side of the jacket between the minor axis and the second rounded end, wherein the first rounded valley has a first radius of curvature and the second rounded valley has a second radius of curvature, and wherein a first line passing through a center of the first radius of curvature and passing through a center of the second radius of curvature also passes through the central longitudinal axis of the fiber optic cable.
