<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture an optical fiber tape conductor in which single-core separation can be easily performed when pulling a fiber, and single-core separation is not performed unexpectedly when manufacturing the tape conductor or in accommodation into a cable. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of optical fiber conductors 2A-2D are disposed on one line at predetermined intervals and thereafter, a taping resin 8 is applied so as to cover all the surroundings of the optical fiber conductors 2A-2D while including the intervals of the optical fiber conductors 2A-2D. Under a state prior to curing the taping resin 8, a resin removing member is then inserted between neighboring ones of the optical fiber conductors 2A-2D, and inter-conductor separation portions 4 which become the intervals are formed intermittently in a tape conductor length direction by removing a non-cured resin, thereby forming an inter-conductor concatenation portion 3 between the inter-conductor separation portions 4. Thereafter, the non-cured resin is cured. A relationship between a separation distance Hd between optical fiber conductors which become neighboring after an application step, and a thickness Wb of the resin removing member is defined as Hd>Wb. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
