Transition tube for a cable, especially for a stay cable. The transition tube T surrounding the cable C as it leaves its working zone 1 consists of a resin reinforced with glass fibre so that it exhibits a relatively low equivalent modulus of elasticity in flexion, which makes it possible to reduce the bending stresses both in the cable C and in this tube itself to a very large extent without increasing the length of this tube in an inconvenient manner. Application to the construction of cable-stayed bridges. <IMAGE>
