Abstract
Disclosed is an optics cable including a plurality of optically transmissive fibers with the portions adjacent the terminal ends thereof clad with a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and a fluoroplastic. The copolymer contains a minor proportion of a coupling agent which permits bonding of the clad fiber ends together and to terminal hardware so that the ends of the fibers are rigidly secured in a fixed relationship with each other and the terminal hardware.
