ABSTRACT:
An optical fibre cable comprises an inner sheath containing at least one optical fibre member, and an outer sheath containing the inner sheath. The inner sheath is of a material which is soft and has a low modulus of elasticity. The outer sheath of a material having bulk properties, such as density and stiffness, and surface properties, such as surface texture and friction such that the cable can be propelled along a duct by a flow of air travelling along the duct. An intermediate sheath may be provided between the inner and outer sheaths.
