Abstract
The filamentary elements are of a diameter that is less than or equal to 1 millimeter. The support comprises longitudinal channels each intended to house a respective filamentary element, each channel being defined by two longitudinal walls interconnected by a web and defining a longitudinal channel opening, the width of said longitudinal opening being variable by elastically deforming the longitudinal walls between an access configuration giving access to the channel enabling a filamentary element to pass through said opening and a retaining configuration for retaining a filamentary element in the channel. The filamentary elements are selected from optical fibers and electrical coaxial cables.
