Abstract

La présente invention concerne un ruban de fibres optiques enroulable ayant une structure de liaison de ruban de fibres optiques, qui empêche un endommagement de parties de liaison pendant un test de torsion dans des conditions de test renforcées, et ayant ainsi une durabilité améliorée contre une contrainte mécanique agissant sur le ruban de fibres optiques enroulable pendant le processus de fabrication d'un câble optique et le travail d'installation du câble optique.
