<p>The invention relates to a device and a method for removing the residual torsion in the optical fiber ribbons of an optical fiber cable of the type used in the telecommunications industry. The cable (1) comprises a central core, a plurality of substantially helical grooves located in the central core, a plurality of optical fiber ribbons (11) located inside the grooves, and an outer protective sheathing. An intermediate portion of the cable, having a fixed length, comprises respective intermediate uncut portions of exposed ribbons which have been freed from the central core and the protective sheathing. The device comprises a spool (20) adapted to be wound up with at least some of the exposed ribbon. When the ribbons are wound onto the spool, the portions of the ribbons downstream from the spool are free from residual torsion.</p> |
