Abstract: An optical cable network constructed with light waveguide cables for one or more transmission systems comprising a plurality of existing and planned connecting points for individual system nodes. In order to facilitate the network set-up, as well as the network expansion, all existing and planned connecting points of an optical cable network are connected in series with one another by means of through extending light waveguide cables that comprise a plurality of fibers. All fibers are laid in the multiple loops at each connecting point for the formation of a cable reserve, with only the fibers needed for a system connection being cut and spliced to components for the connecting point.
