PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber cable which has excellent repeated bending resistance, lateral pressure resistance strength and a skew characteristic, and by which terminal processing and a variation are easily carried out. SOLUTION: In the optical fiber cable, tension members 2 are arranged in parallel with a plurality of tubes 1 at both end sides of the tubes 1 arranged in parallel, these are covered with a thermoplastic resin layer 3, the tension members 2 are adhered firmly to the thermoplastic resin layer 3, and a tape coated optical fiber 4 is inserted in each tube 1. The tape coated optical fibers 4 are inserted in the tubes 1 arranged in parallel, which facilitate terminal processing and the variation and improves the skew property. The tension members 2 firmly adhered to the thermoplastic resin layer 3 regulate the bending of the tape coated optical fiber 4 in an arrangement direction. The tube 1 alleviates the bending in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction, which improves the repeated bending resistance, increases the lateral pressure resistance strength, thereby reduces light transmission loss.
