Abstract
A method is proposed for access to optical fibers contained in an optical module, with a flexible structure for example, of an optical fiber transmission cable. The optical module includes a protective sheath in which the optical fibers are housed. Such a method includes: extracting the optical module from the transmission cable; degrading a portion to be stripped of the sheath of the optical module by heating to a specific temperature, for a predetermined duration; and accessing the optical fibers by stripping the portion to be stripped that has been degraded.
