Abstract
A method of stranding light waveguide ribbon cables, such as slotted core type cables, including stacks of light waveguide ribbons. A radially inward light waveguide ribbon in a stack is stranded at a lower tension than a radially outward light waveguide ribbon in the stack. The stack of light waveguide ribbons may be disposed in other slotted carriers such as U-shaped members or folded tapes.
