What are the names of the two types of indoor tight buffered cables?

• A. Breakout, Distributions
• B. Patch, Splice
• C. Core, Jacket
• D. Indoor, Outdoor

Answer: (A)

Indoor tight-buffered cables mainly come in two forms: breakout cables and distribution cables. Breakout cables bundle several tightly buffered fibers inside a single outer jacket, and each fiber is ready for direct termination to a connector or panel. This setup is convenient when you need multiple individual terminations from one cable, such as linking a switch to many devices in a compact run. Distribution cables act as trunk-type indoor cables carrying many tight-buffered fibers to a distribution point, where the fibers are then fan-out or terminated to individual connectors. They suit longer runs between rooms or racks within a building. The other options describe actions or components rather than cable forms.
