Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for stacking of a plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106). The plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106) is defined by a top surface (S1) and a bottom surface (S2). The top surface (S1) and bottom surface (S2) are defined by a plurality of elevated regions and a plurality of groove regions. The method for stacking of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106) includes arranging the plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106) over each other such that the plurality of elevated regions of each of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons fits over the plurality of groove regions of an adjacent optical fibre ribbon of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons (106). In addition, arrangement of the plurality of optical fibre ribbons forms an optical fibre ribbon stack (200).
