Abstract

A fiber optic array cable (9) comprises a plurality of constituent cables (10-16) that each includes an optical fiber (18), a strength member (21) connected to the optical fiber to provide tensile strength and a jacket (22) surrounding the optical fiber (18) and the strength member (21). A harness (17) is arranged to enclose the plurality of constituent cables (10-16) securely. The strength member (21) preferably is formed of a plurality of metal strands (20) layered around the optical fiber (18).
