Abstract
An optical fiber multi-ribbon including at least two initial optical fiber ribbons having individual first sheaths for assembling the fibers of each ribbon together side by side and in a common plane. The initial optical fiber ribbons are disposed side by side and in a common plane and a common exterior second sheath surrounds the initial ribbons. The individual first sheaths of the initial ribbons and the common exterior second sheath are made from the same resin. This resin is advantageously relatively hard. Applications include high-density optical telecommunication cables.
