Abstract:
This optical fiber cable comprises an optical unit obtained by creating strands of a plurality of optical fiber tape cores, a tube in which the optical unit is housed, and a cable sheath that covers the outside of an aggregate of a plurality of tubes. The optical fiber tape cores have provided thereto, between some or all of optical fiber cores when a plurality of optical fiber cores are positioned in parallel, and intermittently in the longitudinal direction thereof, connecting parts that connect adjoining optical fiber cores, and non-connecting parts at which adjoining optical fiber cores are not connected. The tube has a Young's modulus lower than the Young's modulus of the cable sheath, and the aggregate is such that the plurality of tubes on the inside of the cable sheath deform elastically with respect to one another, with some thereof being in surface contact with the cable sheath.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical fiber cable comprising an optical unit having a plurality of stranded optical fiber ribbons, a tube having the optical unit accommodated therein, and a cable sheath configured to cover an outer side of an assembly including a plurality of the tubes,\n wherein each of the optical fiber ribbons is intermittently provided with coupling portions, at which adjacent optical fibers are coupled therebetween, and non-coupling portions, at which adjacent optical fibers are not coupled therebetween, in a longitudinal direction between a part or all of the optical fibers in a state where the plurality of optical fibers is arranged in parallel, wherein each tube has a Young's modulus lower than a Young's modulus of the cable sheath, and wherein the assembly is in a state where a part of the plurality of tubes is in surface contact with the cable sheath with the tubes being elastically deformed with respect to another tube inside the cable sheath.
