description A traceable cable (12) includes at least one data transmission element (26), a jacket (28) at least partially surrounding the at least one data transmission element (26), and a tracing optical fiber (34) incorporated with and extending along a length (l) of the cable (12). The tracing optical fiber (34) includes a core having a first index of refraction and a cladding having a second index of refraction less than the first index of refraction, with the cladding substantially surrounding the core. The tracing optical fiber (34) also includes periodically spaced apart scattering sites (44) spaced along the optical fiber (34) at a spacing ratio of n sites per meter, wherein each scattering site (44) is configured to scatter no more than about l/(n*l) times optical power provided to the tracing optical fiber (34). Related systems and methods are also disclosed. La présente invention concerne un câble traçable (12) qui comprend au moins un élément de transmission de données (26), une chemise (28) entourant au moins partiellement le ou les éléments de transmission de données (26) et une fibre optique de traçage (34) intégrée au câble (12) et s'étendant le long d'une longueur (l) de celui-ci. La fibre optique de traçage (34) inclut une âme ayant un premier indice de réfraction et une gaine ayant un second indice de réfraction inférieur au premier indice de réfraction, la gaine entourant sensiblement l'âme. La fibre optique de traçage (34) comprend également des sites de diffusion espacés périodiquement (44) espacés le long de la fibre optique (34) à un rapport d'espacement de n sites par mètre, chaque site de diffusion (44) étant configuré pour diffuser pas plus d'environ l/(n*l) fois la puissance optique fournie à la fibre optique de traçage (34). Des systèmes et des procédés associés sont également décrits.
