OPTICAL FIBER CABLE

摘要

Disclosed is a optical fiber cable, comprising optical fibers (1) positioned two or more cores in the x-axis direction, and two or more cores in the y-axis direction, where the x-axis is treated as the major axis and the y-axis is treated as the minor axis in a cross-section of a sheath (3); and tensile strength bodies (5, 5) that are positioned on either side of the optical fibers (1) in the x-axis direction in the cross-section of the sheath (3). Two pair of notches (A, A', B, B') are formed in mutual opposition in both surface portions in the Y-axis direction upon the sheath (3). In the cross-section of the sheath (3), two straight lines that join the opposing notches (A, B, A', B') are approximately parallel to the y-axis and pass through both x-axis direction end portions of the optical fibers (1).
