Abstract
A telecommunication optical fiber cable possesses a longitudinal central cavity that receives micromodules of optical fibers positioned in parallel. A jacket surrounds the central cavity and a sheath is positioned on the inner periphery of the jacket. A lubricant is provided in the central cavity.The cable, which may contain more than 100 optical fibers, is suitable for an outdoor installation and enables a micromodule to be extracted over substantial lengths.
