Abstract
Between an optical fiber (LF, LFB, LFB) and a surrounding core covering (AH, AH, SB) of an optical transmission element (OEto OE) there is at least one dry and compressible fixating element (FEto FE), which surrounds the optical fiber totally or partially, and which exerts a defined contact pressure against the core covering and against the optical fiber for fixating the optical fiber in the longitudinal direction of the transmission element. The fixating element is further formed and positioned in such a way, that position changes of the optical fiber due to bending or elongation are possible. In this way, unallowable attenuation increases in the optical fiber due to bending or position changes can be avoided.
