Abstract: An optical cable comprises a tight-buffered optical cable and a protective sleeve which surrounds the tight-buffered optical cable. An intermediate layer surrounds the protective sleeve has tension-resistant elements. Furthermore, the optical cable contains a cable sheath which surrounds the intermediate layer, and a transitional area facing its inner surface. In this transitional area, the material of the cable sheath is mixed with the tension-resistant elements of the intermediate layer.

Abstract: An optical cable (1) comprises a cable sheath (11) and at least two optical transmission elements (101) and (102), which are arranged within the cable sheath (11). One (101) of the optical transmission elements (101) and (102) comprises a buffer tube (1011), at least one optical waveguide (10101) and at least one swelling element (10111). The buffer tube (1011) surrounds the at least one optical waveguide (10101) and the at least one swelling element (10111). The swelling element (10111) comprises a swelling material, which can swell by supplying it with water. If water penetrates into the optical transmission element, the swelling element (10111) swells and seals off the optical transmission element, so that spreading of the water in the longitudinal direction of the optical transmission element is prevented.

Abstract: In order to prevent an optical cable which is used with a high-tension cable from being damaged by Corona discharge, the optical cable has a cable cladding, provided with a Corona-resistant skin layer.

Abstract: An improved optical cable having at least one light waveguide having a coating and other component parts in the form of protective sheaths of plastic material as well as potentially tensile elements and filling compounds. The improved cable being recyclable, since the other component parts contain only polyolefins and small amounts of glass or inorganic fillers, so that the cable can easily be recycled into pellets having the inorganic fillers and glass acting as reinforcing elements.

Abstract: Filler for an optical transmission element having at least one optical waveguideThe filler for an optical transmission element containing at least one optical waveguide contains a plasticizer.

Abstract: The separation of dissolved and/or undissolved materials having different densities or different buoyancy densities can be effected with the aid of agents comprising solutions of true metatungstates. In the case of a separation of materials having different buoyancy densities by means of a density gradient centrifugation, the agent has the form of an aqueous solution of an alkali, ammonium or alkaline earth metal metatungstate and, if desired, may be augmented by the addition of at least one low molecular weight electrolyte. The agent can have a density of up to 3.1 g.cm.sup.-3, has a low viscosity at high concentrations, and is neutral and chemically insert. In the case of a separation of water-insoluble solid mixtures of different densities, the densities of the solutions of the true metatungstates can be increased up to 4.6 g.cm.sup.-3 by adding to the solutions high density materials such as sodium tungstate or tungsten carbide of suitable grain size so as to form a suspension.
