Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical fibre cable (100) and the method of manufacturing thereof. In particular, the optical fibre cable (100) comprises a plurality of optical fibres (102), one or more layers (104) enveloping the plurality of optical fibres (102), a metallic layer (108) surrounding one or more layers (104), an outer sheath (112), and a separation layer (110) sandwiched between the metallic layer (108) and the outer sheath (112). Particularly, binding between the metallic layer (108) and the separation layer (110) is defined as metal binding and binding between the separation layer (110) and the outer sheath (112) is defined as sheath binding. Further, the metal binding is less than the sheath binding.
