摘要

The optical strand (1) with one or more optical fibers (2) is provided with a plastic cover (3) which carries a reinforcement (4) consisting of at least one helically wound wire or high-strength plastic thread. The reinforcement (4) is covered by a layer (5) of thermoplastic material. An Independent claim is also included for an optical cable with one or more optical strands capable of taking up tensile and compressive loads.
