ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention discloses several optical fiber cable constructions which basically disposed the optical fibers in a loosely-fitting fashion in respective longitudinal compartments provide by splicing tapes folded or shaped to a designated trans- verse cross-sectional shape. The loose fitting of the optical fibers overcomes the increased transmission losses and changed transmission bandwidth caused by lateral or compression forces inherently applied to the optical fibers of conventional optical fiber cable constructions. Two methods and apparatus for fabri- cating the optical fiber cable constructions are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the assemblage die is stationary with respect to the rotary cage and the guide plate, whereas in the second embodiment the assemblage die is mounted to rotate with the rotary cage and the guide plate. In both case tape folding process and fiber accommodation therein and assemblage are achieved in tandem or in one operation.
