Reinforcing elements in optical cables are used to withstand the axial stresses due to the laying, the working conditions or to the thermal variations, thus preventing that the same are passed on to the fibres. An optical communication cable (10) includes a cable body (12), a plurality of core elements (20,22, 24) located within the cable body, a reinforcement layer (30) surrounding the plurality of core elements within the cable body, and a film (28) surrounding the plurality of core elements. This advanced cabling solution allows fast, secure data transfer and telecom over long distances. Understanding the components within a fiber optic cable enables. A fiber optic cable consists of five basic components: the core, the cladding, the coating, the strengthening fibers, and the cable jacket.
