ABSTRACT:
The optical transmission cable comprises a sheath in which optical fiber ribbons are inserted, the optical fiber ribbons being disposed parallel on one another to form a stack of ribbons. Each ribbon is folded in two along a longitudinal midline. The stack of ribbons folded in two has an essentially V-shaped cross-section that is suitable for deforming elastically by varying the angle between the limbs of the V-shape, thereby enabling the cable to withstand being squashed without damaging the optical fibers.
