Abstract:
Cables are constructed with embedded discontinuities in the cable jacket that allow the jacket to be torn to provide access to the cable core. The discontinuities can be longitudinally extending strips of polymer material coextruded in the cable jacket.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing a jacket for an optical fiber cable, wherein the jacket comprises a primary portion and at least one discontinuity, the method comprising:\n co-extruding a first material to form the primary portion, the first material having a first material cohesive strength; and co-extruding a second material to form the at least one discontinuity, wherein the at least one discontinuity is wholly embedded in the primary portion and extends along a length of the optical fiber cable, the second material having a second material cohesive strength, and cooling the primary portion and the at least one discontinuity to form a bond, wherein a first ratio of the second material cohesive strength to an adhesion strength between the first material and the second material is in the range of 1:20 to 20:1.
