Optical fiber tape manufacturing method, optical fiber tape manufacturing device implementing said manufacturing method, and optical fiber tape manufactured with said manufacturing method

摘要

Provided is a method of manufacturing an optical fiber tape, an optical fiber tape manufacturing device that implements said manufacturing method, and the optical fiber tape manufactured by said manufacturing method, said multicore optical fiber tape method aligning a plurality of optical fiber core cables in parallel and linking adjacent optical fiber core cables at prescribed intervals, allowing identification of subunits with ease. A plurality of optical fiber core cables (2) are sent in parallel alignment with intervals spaced therebetween. The plurality of optical fiber core cables (2) are coated with a non-cured resin. A plurality of interrupt members are moved at either the same or different periods and phases for each of arbitrary optical fiber core wires (2). The positions where the interruption of the non-cured resin is carried out by the interrupt members is changed sequentially. The optical fiber core wires (2) are aligned in parallel, bundled together, and the non-cured resin is cured up to sites where the optical fiber core wires (2) come in contact with one another, forming link parts (4, 5) that link the optical fiber core wires together.
