Abstract
The invention relates to a method of installing cables, in particular glass-fiber cables, in drinking water pipes and also to a cable suitable for drinking water pipe installation. In order to avoid contamination of the cable and to exclude contamination of the drinking water, provision is made that the cable is covered with a protective sheathing that is stripped off prior to contact with the drinking water. A cable suitable for this purpose can be covered already during its production process with the strippable protective sheathing.
