<p>An optical fiber composite that can easily have a desired mean transmission property as a whole even after a length of optical fiber is cut off from one end or both ends, a cable comprising the composites, and methods for producing the composite and cable. An optical fiber composite (10) is produced by splicing a first optical fiber (11), a second optical fiber (12), and a third optical fiber (13) in this order. The first optical fiber (11) and the third optical fiber (13) each have a first chromatic dispersion, D1, at the wavelength of a signal-carrying lightwave. The second optical fiber (12) has a second chromatic dispersion, D2, at the wavelength of the signal-carrying lightwave. The third optical fiber has a length, L3, shorter than the length, L1, of the first optical fiber. It is desirable that the ratio L3/ L1 be at most 0.1. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
