Abstract:
1. An optical fiber cable comprising: an elongated optical element portion comprising: an optical fiber including one or more plastic coated optical fibers, tight-buffered optical fibers or optical ribbon fibers; at least a pair of tensile strength members arranged in parallel at both sides of the optical fiber in a width direction of the optical fiber; and an outer jacket covering outer circumferences of the optical fiber and the pair of tensile strength members, and having a rectangular cross-sectional surface in which a long side is arranged in the width direction of the optical fiber and a short side is arranged in a thickness direction perpendicular to the width direction of the optical fiber, wherein a frictional coefficient of the outer jacket is equal to or less than 0.20 and Shore D hardness of the outer jacket is equal to or more than 60, and a bending rigidity in the short side direction of the outer jacket is within a range of 1.5×10
