Abstract

An improved method of manufacturing a light waveguide cable having a light waveguide bundle of at least one lead with the filling material received in an outer sheath characterized by the method including applying an outer sheath on the bundle with the filling material, said sheath being of a material at least partially light permeable and cross-linking the filling material by irradiating the sheath with light radiation, such as ultraviolet light, which will pass through the sheath to cross-link the filling material.
