Abstract

A high resistivity cable for transmitting optical information. The cable includes a resilient buffer tube holding an optical conductor for transmitting the optical information. A high dielectric gel is packed inside of the tube to fill the space not occupied by the conductor. The cable also includes a flexible high dielectric braid surrounding the tube throughout its length for increasing the tensile strength of the cable. The interstices of the braid are filled with a high dielectric gel to prevent moisture from entering the braid. The cable also includes an electrically insulative resilient outer jacket. A method of manufacturing the cable is also disclosed.
