1. An optical fiber cable comprising:
a plurality of rollable optical fiber ribbons, each optical fiber ribbon comprising:
a plurality of optical fibers, wherein each optical fiber comprises:
a core;
a cladding surrounding the core;
at least one coating surrounding the cladding such that the cladding is disposed between the core and the at least one coating;
an outer diameter ≤210 microns as measured at an outer surface of the at least one coating;
a mode field diameter of ≥9 microns at 1310 nm; and
a macrobend loss of ≤0.5 dB/turn at 1550 nm for a mandrel diameter of 15 mm; and
a cable jacket surrounding the plurality of optical fiber ribbons defining an exterior surface of the cable and a cable core,
wherein a core fiber density is greater than 7.12 fibers per square millimeter as calculated by the total number of optical fibers divided by an area of the cable core as determined from a minimum cable core diameter.
