A non-metallic flexible elongate strengthening member is for use in an optical cable. The strengthening member comprises a plurality of non-metallic flexible elements helically laid around a central non- metallic flexible element. The flexible elements comprises a multiplicity of filaments of non-metallic reinforcing material bonded together by a heat-softenable organic material and is coated with a release agent. The flexible elements of the assembly is deformed and compacted together that any tendency for the flexible elements to spring apart is substantially eliminated.
