Bundle of optical fibres for use in a fibre optic cable

摘要

An optical transmission element comprises a core section (10) including a plurality of optical fibers (12) wherein each one of the optical fibers (12) is in contact with at least two other ones of the optical fibers (12). Furthermore, the opical transmission element comprises a sheath section (20) comprising a sheath layer (21) surrounding the core section (10) such that the sheath layer (21) is in contact with the optical fibers (12).
