Abstract
There is disclosed a method for fabricating an undersea communications cable containing optical fibers. The cable is fabricated so that fiber optical loss characteristics vary only slightly with changes in strain in the cable. During fabrication an adhesive bonds the cable core containing the optical fibers to a layer of steel wire for preventing creep therebetween.
