Abstract:
In submarine communications cables having a copper tube surrounding optical conductors, an armoring that surrounds the tube and is made of braided strands, a jacket layer made for example of a copper tube and external insulation, the jacket layer of copper or copper tube is complicated and expensive to produce and the copper jacket layer impairs the flexibility of the submarine communications cable. The invention provides for the copper jacket layer around the strands of the armoring to be replaced by a wrapped layer formed by at least one thin, flexible band that can be easily wrapped like a tape around the strands of the armoring, and the wrapped layer formed from the at least one thin, flexible band increases the flexibility of the submarine communications cable.

Claim (Index 13):
The method as claimed in  claim 12 , characterized in that overlapping marginal regions of the at least one band ( 15 ,  17 ) form liquid-tight overlap areas ( 16 ) during wrapping around the armoring and/or that when the at least one band ( 15 ,  17 ) is wrapped around the armoring, the marginal regions of adjacent windings of the band ( 15 ) and/or ( 17 ) are adhesively bonded in the overlap area ( 16 ), preferably in an automatic manner.
