Abstract
Optical cable having at least one tubular element of polymeric material and at least one transmission element housed within said tubular element. The polymeric material is made from a polymeric composition having (a) at least one olefin polymer; (b) at least one inorganic filler; and (c) at least one olefin polymer including at least one functional group. The at least one olefin polymer including at least one functional group (c) is present in the polymeric composition in an amount of about 3 parts by weight to about 10 parts by weight, preferably about 5 parts by weight to about 8 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the olefin polymer (a).
