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 15):
A device for producing a submarine communications cable, comprising:\n an apparatus for the formation of a tube ( 11 ) which surrounds optical conductors ( 10 ); an apparatus for the stranded application, if necessary, of an armoring to the tube ( 11 ); an apparatus for the production of a jacket layer which encloses the armoring; and an apparatus for generating an external insulation ( 18 ), wherein the apparatus for producing the jacket layer has at least one unwinder for accommodating a supply of a band ( 15 ,  17 ) and for the formation of the jacket layer from the band ( 15 ,  17 ).
