Abstract

In a long-haul optical communication line the fibers to be made into the line are grouped into pairs such that the two fibers in each pair have substantially symmetrical chromatic dispersion relative to a mean value of the chromatic dispersion of all the fibers of the line. These two fibers are thereafter connected consecutively into the line. The invention finds an application in telecommunications.
