An optical cable has a reduced slicing loss and superior characteristics in the efficiency of the installation work thereof, and is therefore suitable for installation on land. First and second optical fibers have been connected together by fusion splicing to form joints thereby providing an optical fiber line. Each first optical fiber has a positive chromatic dispersion at a signal light wavelength while each second optical fiber has a negative chromatic dispersion at the same wavelength. The first and the second optical fibers, including the joints, are accommodated in the optical cable.
