Abstract
A fiber-optic cable has reinforcement in the form of an elongated member such as a hollow tube, a member of solid circular cross-section, a channel member and/or an outer jacket formed of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer. That polymer has a coefficient of linear thermal expansion in the range of from -10.times.10.sup.-6 /.degree.F. to -4.times.10.sup.-6 /.degree.F. The reinforcing members constitute strength members which are preferably formed separate from, or simultaneously with, the introduction of an optical fiber.
