Abstract

An improved optical cable having at least one light waveguide having a coating and other component parts in the form of protective sheaths of plastic material as well as potentially tensile elements and filling compounds. The improved cable being recyclable, since the other component parts contain only polyolefins and small amounts of glass or inorganic fillers, so that the cable can easily be recycled into pellets having the inorganic fillers and glass acting as reinforcing elements.
