1. A dispersion-balanced optical cable comprising one or more optical fibers of a first type and one or more optical fibers of a second type, both types of optical fiber being suitable for transmitting optical signals at a source wavelength λ

  • s,CHARACTERIZED IN THAT;

    the first type of optical fiber has positive chromatic dispersion, the average of the absolute magnitudes of the dispersions of the positive dispersion fibers exceeding 0.8 ps/nm.km at λ

    s ; and

    the second type of optical fiber has negative chromatic dispersion, the average of the absolute magnitudes of the dispersions of the negative dispersion fibers exceeding 0.8 ps/nm.km at λ

    s.
