A drop optical fiber cable, comprising optical fiber cores, surface coated tension members, and a support cable. The surface coated tension members are formed in a circular shape in cross section by covering fiber-reinforced thermosetting resin tension members with a thermoplastic resin coating layer, and the pair of surface coated tension members are disposed on both upper and lower sides of the optical fiber cores on a same axis at specified intervals. The support cable is disposed on the upper side of the tension members, and the optical fiber cores, surface coated tension members, and support cable are coated together with the thermoplastic resin body coating part. The tension members are formed by applying the thermoplastic resin coating layer onto FRP tension members. In this case, the outer periphery of the FRP tension members is anchored to the inner periphery of the coating layer. The thermoplastic resin used for the coating layer is selected from those resins which are compatible with the resin of the body coating part.
