Abstract:
An optical communication cable and related systems and methods are provided. The optical cable includes a plurality of wrapped core elements, and the outer surfaces of adjacent wrapped core elements are joined together by discrete bond sections. The discrete bonds sections may be structures such as laser welds, ultrasonic welds, or adhesive material. The discrete bonds hold the wrapped core elements together in the wrapped pattern, such as an SZ stranding pattern.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the bonding step comprises laser welding utilizing a laser beam focused to melt regions at an interface of the outer surfaces of the first and second core elements to form a laser weld and to melt regions at an interface of the outer surfaces of the first and third core elements to form a laser weld.
