Abstract

An optical fiber bundle comprises optical fiber ribbons disposed one on the other to constitute a stack having a side formed by an edge of each ribbon and which extends in a substantially transverse direction to the ribbons. An adhesive member is placed on this side of the stack. It adheres to the lateral edge of each ribbon to bind them. It preserves the ordered structure of the bundle when the bundle is inserted into a cable jacket.
