1. A fiber optic drop cable, comprising:

  • an optical fiber;

    a tight buffer layer on the optical fiber;

    a plurality of strength members;

    a jacket surrounding the tight buffer layer, anda coupling between the jacket and the plurality of strength members defined by partial embedment of the plurality of strength members in the jacket during extrusion, the coupling between the jacket and the plurality of strength members inhibiting transfer of tensile forces to the optical fiber;

    wherein the fiber optic drop cable has an average delta attenuation of 0.4 dB or less at a reference wavelength of 1625 nanometers with the fiber optic cable wrapped 2 turns around a 7.5 millimeter diameter mandrel.
