Abstract
A telecommunication cable includes a plurality of modules, each with a thin retaining sheath for clamping optical fibers together. Each retaining sheath contains plural respective modules and is mechanically coupled to the retaining sheaths of the respective modules to form supermodules that contact an outside jacket. The retaining sheath of a supermodule includes an identification color or line to distinguish the supermodules from each other.
