A fiber optic cable and methods of manufacturing the same includes at
least one optical fiber, and at least one ferrule. The at least one
ferrule is attached to the at least one optical fiber before the cable
jacket is applied. The cable jacket surrounds the at least one optical
fiber and the at least one ferrule so that when the cable jacket is
opened the at least one optical fiber having the at least one ferrule
attached may be accessed. Consequently, the when opening the cable, the
craft is presented with an optical fiber that is preterminated with a
ferrule. Optionally, the ferrule can have a cover or be a portion of a
fiber optic connector. The cable is manufactured so that one or more of
the ferrules are appropriately placed along the length of the fiber optic
cable for distribution into the fiber optic network.
