This invention relates to cables including at least three primary elongated elements (1,1A,1B) and a number of secondary elongated elements (5,5A,5B). The basic idea is that at least one of the primary elements - cable cores - should be identifiable by coding of neighboring or adjacent secondary elements - filler elements. The coded secondary elements are usually arranged in interstices between the primary elements. The primary elements can then be substantially identical in crossection and surface configuration.
