Abstract

The invention relates to a cable, particularly to a light waveguide cable, in which at least one conductor, particularly a fiber-shaped light waveguide, is arranged in the interior of a protective sheathing and the remaining inside space is filled out with a gel-like substance. The substance consists of a mixture comprising an oil and a thixotropic agent.
