MANUFACTURING METHOD OF OPTICAL FIBER RIBBON, MANUFACTURING DEVICE OF OPTICAL FIBER RIBBON EXECUTING THE METHOD AND OPTICAL FIBER RIBBON MANUFACTURED BY THE METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of optical fiber ribbon that is obtained by connecting adjacent optical fiber cores to each other at predetermined intervals among multiple optical fiber cores arranged in parallel and that is a multicore optical fiber ribbon capable of identifying subunits each other, and to provide a manufacturing device of optical fiber ribbon executing the method and an optical fiber ribbon manufactured by the method.

SOLUTION: Connection parts 4 and 5 for connecting optical fiber cores to each other are formed through: a step for feeding multiple optical fiber cores 2 that are arranged in parallel at intervals; a step for applying an unhardened resin to the optical fiber cores 2; a step for moving multiple blocking members according to a cycle and phase that are different or identical according to each of the optional optical fiber cores 2; a step for continuously changing a position where the blocking members block the unhardened resin; and a step for hardening the unhardened resin before the optical fiber cores 2 that are arranged in parallel and concentrated reach a place for contacting each other.
