Abstract
An optical cable comprises a plurality of light waveguides, which are combined in a group of small bands, and the group of small bands are arranged in longitudinally extending chambers of a core element. Each of the chambers in the core element can have an increasing width as the radial distance from the center of the core element increases and the bands can be arranged in sub-stacks having increases widths corresponding to the increased width of the chamber. In another embodiment, each of the bands in the stack has an increasing width in the radial direction to fill the chamber. In another embodiment, each of the chambers has a rectangular cross section, with the cross section increasing in a step-like manner due to steps formed in the partitions and the bands which are arranged in the chambers are arranged in sub-stacks to fill each portion of the chamber.
