PURPOSE:To make it possible to execute post branching of arbitrary optical fibers in the same fiber ribbon and to easily deal with wirings, etc., to a new telephone subscriber by composing part of the tape coating of the fiber ribbon of a material different from the material of the other parts and removing this different part. CONSTITUTION:Part of the fiber ribbon 1 constituted by protecting the coated optical fibers with the tape coating 3 is composed of the different tape coating 4 consisting of the material which is different from the material of the tape coating 3 of the ordinary part and is easily removable, for example, the different part 5 of the different tape coating 4 consisting of a UV curing type resin. The different part 5 of the tape coating of the fiber ribbon 1 is made easier to be removed than the other coating part 3 in such a manner, by which the easy sepn. of the plural single optical fibers in the removed section is possible. For example, only the optical fibers to be reconnected are cut and an optical connector is mounted at this part, by which only the desired optical fibers are taken out without interrupting the communication within the same fiber ribbon. |
