An optical communication cable is provided having a cable body with an inner surface defining a passage within the cable body and a plurality of core elements within the passage. A film surrounds the plurality of core elements, wherein the film directs a radial force inward onto the plurality of core elements to restrain and hold the plurality of core elements in place.

Optical communication cable

An optical communication cable is provided. The cable includes a plurality of elongate optical transmission elements wrapped around an elongate central strength member such that a portion of the length of the plurality of wrapped elongate optical transmission elements form a spiral portion around the elongate central strength member. The cable includes an elastic sleeve surrounding the plurality of elongate optical transmission elements, and the elastic sleeve is formed from an extruded first material. The cable includes a cable body formed from an extruded second material different from the first material, and the cable body surrounds the film, and the cable body has an inner surface that faces the outer surface of the film.

A micromodule cable having optical transmission elements arranged in a helically wound manner around a longitudinal axis by at least 360&#xb0; in a longitudinal direction where the lay length is 100 times of the diameter of the optical cable. The cable is stable across a wide temperature range.
