PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber cable with connectors with which the assembly and disassembly of a housing section are easy and which is capable of housing the optical fibers and optical connectors housed in the housing section without affecting optical transmission characteristics. SOLUTION: While coated fiber ribbons 53, etc., housed in a housing section 50a slide on the inside surface of a protective liner 80 arranged cylindrically along the inside surface of a housing hose 56 accompanying with curving of the housing hose 56, the contact position thereof is changed and, therefore, the fiber ribbons move smoothly to the adequate housing position and the optical transmission characteristics are stably maintained in spite of the relative displacement with the housing hose 56. The attachment and detachment of the protective liner 80 are made possible as well simply by attaching and detaching the housing hose 56 to and from the cable terminal. |
