fibre optics
Le câble est du type à structure lâche (loose tube). Les fibres sont logées dans un tube en polyéthylène rempli d'une graisse d'étanchéité. Ce tube de ± 3 mm extérieur forme l'élément central du câble appelé module. Ce module est complètement entouré d'une couche de protection mécanique de 10 joncs câblés du type FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) en fibres de verre époxy.

cabled rods
My Lexique des fibres optiques (Franterm, diffusé par Nathan!) gives "jonc" as "rod", and an illustration shows a "jonc plastique / Plastic rod) with ten longitudinal grooves housing the conductors "fibre avec revêtement primaire / primary coated fibre". At the centre of this structure (in a coaxial void at the centre of the plastic rod) is the "porteur central /central carrier" which might well be your "élément central".
If yours is a big cable, it could well have ten such rods, each comprising ten (say) fibres, the ring of ten rods constituting the mechanical protection of the central element.
My book shows a "7 rod cable", though in this case there are six rods arranged in a circle, with a seventh identical rod at the centre (each rod with 10 grooves and fibres and a central "porteur central").
