In the current telecommunications market, service providers face continued growth in bandwidth usage despite a slow economy. As a result, service providers must find ways to provide increased bandwidth while minimizing cost and capital expenditure. One way to remove cost from the construction of outside plant fiber-optic cable routes is through use of craft-friendly optical cables that minimize the time, labor, and expense required for installation. Complete elimination of filling compounds is one means of improving the craft-friendliness of outside plant optical cables. Filling compounds are hydrophobic, oil-based gels that occupy void spaces directly surrounding optical fibers or ribbons.|In the current telecommunications market, service providers face continued growth in bandwidth usage despite a slow economy.
