ABSTRACT:
An optical waveguide cable is disclosed wherein a bundle of waveguide fibers is formed from a plurality of individual fibers coated with a release agent. The fiber bundle is encapsulated within an encapsulating material in which at least two strength members are embedded. The strength members are disposed parallel to the bundle in a plane substantially through the longitudinal axis of the bundle, at least one of the strength members being disposed in the plane on one side of the bundle while the remaining strength members are disposed in the plane on the other side of the bundle. Each of the waveguide fibers may be coated with a protective layer of a synthetic resinous material applied over the release agent before the bundle is formed.
