An optical fiber cable allows for future expansion with blown optical fibers
through
conduits. The cable assembly includes a central strength member, a conduit, and
a buffer tube of optical fibers, all surrounded by an outer jacket. The central
strength member may be tubular. While the buffer tube of optical fibers accommodates
current capacity requirements, the conduit and possibly the tubular strength member
provide paths for blowing additional optical fibers into the cable to meet future
capacity needs.
