A totally dielectric cable includes a core comprising a plurality of optical fiber transmission media. The core is enclosed by a core tube which is made of a plastic material and water blocking provisions are provided within thecore tube for preventing the longitudinal migration of water. A water blocking tape may be provided in engagement with an outer surface of the core tube and a plastic jacket is extruded thereover. Interposed between the outer surface of the jacket and the core tube are two diametrically opposed pluralities of strength members each of which may be made of glass fibers. At least one strength member of each plurality is rod-like to provide compressive as well as tensile strength for the cable. The remaining strength members of each plurality are relatively flexible rovings which supplement the tensile strength of the rod-like members. The strength members are disposed and have a stiffness modulus which are effective to minimize any tensile strain which is imparted to the rovings.
