A method is disclosed for manufacturing an optical fiber cable element having plurality of optical fibers which are arranged with excess length inside a pressure-tight metal tube. Means are provided inside the metal tube for protecting the optical fibers and for longitudinal sealing. The optical fibers are first embedded in a soft or compressible compound to form a cable element core. The outside diameter of the cable element core generally corresponds to the inside diameter of the metal tube in the finished cable and the optical fibers being present with excess length in the cable element core. A metal band is subsequently continuously formed into a slotted tube surrounding the cable element core. A distance remains between the cable element core and the tube. The slotted tube is welded together and the tube is drawn down onto the cable element core.

'invention est une méthode de fabrication de câbles à fibres optiques multiples placées avec une longueur excédentaire à l'intérieur d'un tube métallique étanche. Celui-ci est pourvu de dispositifs de protection internes pour les fibres optiques et l'agent d'étanchéification disposé longitudinalement. Les fibres optiques sont d'abord enrobées d'une substance molle ou compressible pour former l'âme du câble. Le diamètre extérieur de l'âme est généralement égal au diamètre intérieur du tube métallique du câble fini et les fibres optiques présentes avec une longueur excédentaire dans l'âme. Une bande métallique est ensuite posée de façon continue de façon à former un tube fendu entourant l'âme. Il reste une certaine distance entre l'âme et le tube. Les bords du tube fendu sont soudés ensembles et le tube est tiré de façon à recouvrir l'âme.
