Abstract
Described is an optical cable or cable element with a plurality of optical waveguide elements which are stranded together and each consist of several optical waveguides, collected into a bundle, and of a plastic covering surrounding the bundle with a maximum free space of 0.1 mm, and of a non-compressible filling compound filling the intermediate spaces between the optical waveguides, and with a layer of longitudinally aligned glass or plastic fibers surrounding the optical waveguide elements and with an extruded outer jacket of a polymer, the outer jacket compressing the layer radially.
