ABSTRACT:
A strength member is paid off from a neutralizer payoff in such a manner that the strength member is rotating. A tape having longitudinal grooves is paid off from a fixed payoff and passed through a forming die. The strength member is also passed through the forming die, and the tape is there applied to the exterior of the strength member. As a result of the rotation of the strength member, the tape obtains a helical lay about the strength member. An optical fiber is paid off from a neutralizer payoff and laid into a groove on said tape. An outer tape may be helically laid over the corrugated tape and a filling compound may be applied under and over the grooves of the corrugated tape. A binder may be provided to secure the outer tape over the fiber.
