Abstract

There is disclosed a communication cable with wave guides which are combined in ribbon lines. The optical wave guides are fixed in the ribbon lines only at fastening places which lie one behind the other in axial direction and are spaced apart from each other. The ribbon lines are marked at the fastening places, for instance by color. The marking is identical for a ribbon line over its entire length. All ribbon lines arranged in the cable are marked differently.
