Abstract
An optical cable formed by a plurality of main bundles with each of the main bundles being composed of a plurality of sub-bundles having at least one optical lead. The sub-bundles are preferably stranded around a central element and the main bundles are stranded around a central core or element with the direction of stranding of both the sub-bundles and main bundles being reversed with a spacing between the locations of the reversing of the stranded main bundles and of the stranded sub-bundle being approximately equal. Preferably, the spacing between the reversing locations is smaller than the standard length of a standard cable sleeve so that a cable sleeve applied to the cable will always have at least one reversing location for the stranded main bundles and sub-bundles within the cable sleeve.
