DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING OPTICAL FIBER RIBBON, OPTICAL FIBER RIBBON, AND OPTICAL FIBER CABLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber ribbon which can be easily separated into individual fibers at the time of fiber lead-in and which is not inadvertently separated into individual fibers at the time of being stored in an optical fiber cable.

SOLUTION: In an optical fiber ribbon 1, a plurality of optical fiber strands 2A-2D are arranged in line at a predetermined pitch P and a resin 3 which is made of an ultraviolet curing resin and bonds the optical fiber strands 2 with each other is applied and supplied between each of the optical fiber strands 2. When the resin 3 is applied and supplied between each of gaps S of the in-line optical fiber strands 2, the gaps S are vacuumed and the resin 3 is formed by being let wrap around from a coating surface side 1a to an opposite surface side 1b.
