Multi-fiber tight-buffered cables also are available and are used primarily for alternative routing and handling flexibility and ease within buildings. With tight-buffered cable designs, the buffering material is in direct contact with the fiber. This design is suited for "jumper cables" which connect outside plant cables to terminal equipment, and also for linking various devices in a premises network.

The tight-buffered design provides a rugged cable structure to protect individual fibers during handling, routing and connectorization. Yarn strength members keep the tensile load away from the fiber.

The "Indoor-Outdoor" rating also allows from installation from outside to anywhere inside without violating and National Electric Codes!
