Abstract
The invention relates to an optical fiber cable including an outer sheath containing a plurality of optical fibers separated into at least two optical fiber modules, each of said modules consisting of a module sheath surrounding a respective group of optical fibers. According to the invention, the module sheath is formed by a film of plastics material. The film is, for example, wrapped widthwise around the group of optical fibers, a first face of the film being superposed on and fixed to a second face of the film over a portion of given width of said film.
