What is the term used for indoor tight-buffered "non-breakout" style cable?

The term used for indoor tight-buffered "non-breakout" style cable is distribution cable. Distribution cables are designed to facilitate the effective management and organization of fiber optics within a structured cabling environment, making them ideal for indoor applications. These cables typically consist of multiple fibers that are surrounded by a protective layer, allowing for easy handling and installation. Each fiber in a distribution cable is individually buffered, which provides enhanced protection and flexibility for the fibers while allowing multiple connections within the same cable.

In contrast, loose tube gel-filled cables are primarily designed for outdoor use, where they can withstand harsher environmental conditions. Breakout cables are structured to support multiple individual cables that can be terminated separately, while zipcord cables consist of two fibers in a flat configuration, often used for patching connections in settings where flexibility and ease of deployment are essential. Therefore, while all these terms refer to different types and applications of fiber optic cables, the specific term that describes an indoor tight-buffered "non-breakout" style cable is distribution.
