ABSTRACT:
A stranding element for use in forming optical cables has an envelope and a plurality of bands, which are each formed of a plurality of light waveguide fibers arranged in a band stack. The band stack is received in a cavity of the envelope of the stranding element. In one embodiment, the envelope has a cross sectional cavity corresponding to the band and the envelope and band stack are longitudinally twisted substantially the same amount. In another embodiment, the band stack is received in a skin and is twisted in an envelope, which has a hollow tubular form.
