Multiple fiber optical cable and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

A multiple fiber optical cable includes bundled plural optical fibers which change in chromatic dispersion characteristic in their respective longitudinal directions. The chromatic dispersion characteristics of the respective bundled plural optical fibers coincide with each other at at least the position of each end of the multiple fiber optical cable. Accordingly, the plural optical fibers which change in chromatic dispersion characteristic in their respective longitudinal directions are bundled so that degradations or deviations can be restrained from occurring in the chromatic dispersion characteristics during cutting or connecting or splicing.
