Optical fiber tape core wires 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, and 3e each comprise a plurality of optical fiber strands 13 bonded in parallel. In the optical fiber tape core wires 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, and 3e, adjacent optical fiber strands 13 are bonded by bonding sections 15 that are intermittently bonded at prescribed intervals. The positions of the bonding sections 15 for all optical fiber tape core wires 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, and 3e are mutually offset in the longitudinal direction. In other words, the longitudinal-direction positions of the bonding sections 15 for the optical fiber tape core wires 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, and 3e never exactly match. |
