Abstract
The method is intended to provide cables (10) having an optical fiber (1) and suitable for mechanically severe environments, while remaining small in section. Heretofore, the mechanical strength of optical fiber cables has been obtained by plastic structures of considerable cross-sectional area and reinforced by metal strands or by glass fibers. In the method of the present invention, the reinforcing is obtained by metal composites (3) having very high mechanical strength and very small diameter, said composites extending parallel to the fiber (1).
