A fiber optic cable that includes one or more optical fibers, and one or more strength members spanning the length of the cable. The cable also includes a protective jacket protecting the cable across all, or at least substantially all of its length. One or more ends of the cable (and potentially as much as the entire length of the cable), includes a jacket portion that surrounds the strength member(s), and a jacket portion that surrounds the optical fiber(s). These jacket portions are connected by a peelable separation portion. Accordingly, when the optical fiber portion of the jacket is pulled relative to the strength member portion of the jacket, the separation portion ruptures permitting the strength member portion and the optical fiber portion to be peeled away from each other. This allows for independent control of the termination of the strength member(s) relative to the optical fiber(s).
