<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a buffering member which is easy to handle and a method for manufacturing the same, and, to provide an optical fiber cable using such a buffering member. <P>SOLUTION: A buffering member 11 has a length direction and comprises a plurality of support parts 12 which are vertically attached to coated optical fibers 31 to support the coated optical fibers 31. The buffering member 11 has a configuration in which a plurality of support parts 12, 12,...are connected by a sheet-like base material 13. The buffering member 11 is arranged between the coated optical fibers 31 and a sheath to form a buffer layer of an optical fiber cable. The buffering member 11 is manufactured by being integrally molded by extrusion molding along the length direction of the plurality of support parts 12, 12,.... <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
