Method to reorder (shuffle) optical cable waveguide layers

A method for providing an optical cable, the method comprising:

• providing a first waveguide comprising a plurality of optical channels, wherein:
• the first waveguide has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end of the first waveguide are arranged on a longitudinal axis, and
• the first waveguide is molded to have a first waveguide intermediate portion between the first end and the second end of the first waveguide, wherein the first waveguide intermediate portion is off center in relation to the longitudinal axis in a first direction of a width axis, the width axis being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
• providing a second waveguide comprising a plurality of optical channels, wherein:
• the second waveguide has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end of the second waveguide are arranged on the longitudinal axis, and
• the second waveguide is molded to have a second waveguide intermediate portion between the first end and the second end of the second waveguide, wherein the second waveguide intermediate portion is off center in relation to the longitudinal axis in a second direction of the width axis, the second direction being substantially opposite to the first direction of the width axis;
• and
• connecting the first end of the first waveguide and the first end of the second waveguide to a first connector, and connecting the second end of the first waveguide and the second end of the second waveguide to a second connector,
• wherein the first connector and the second connector are arranged on the longitudinal axis, and
• wherein the first waveguide and the second waveguide are interwoven such that:
• the first end of the first waveguide is arranged on a first side of a plane containing the longitudinal axis and the width axis,
• the first end of the second waveguide is arranged on a second side of the plane,
• the second end of the second waveguide is arranged on the first side of the plane, and
• the second end of the first waveguide is arranged on the second side of the plane.
