PURPOSE:To enable the connection of fibers in the state of a tape even if multifiber optical tapes are not divided to single fibers by mounting plural molten parts with reinforcing materials into one package and constituting the fibers emerging from the package to the outside as the tape fibers. CONSTITUTION:The two optical fibers 1 are placed along each other and are melted under overheating and drawn to form the molten part 1. This molten part 1 is adhered to the reinforcing material 2, by which said part is reinforced. The molten part 4 with the reinforcing material is housed into the semi- cylindrical package 5 and is fixed by an adhesive agent, etc. Two pieces of such packages 8 with the molten parts are disposed to face each other and two pieces each of the fibers 1 emitted from the separate molten parts 4 with the reinforcing materials of the fibers emitted to both sides of the packages 8 are mated with each other. A coating of UV, etc., is put thereon to form the tape fibers 6 which are then adhered and fixed to the right and left outlets of the packages 8. The connection of the multifiber optical tapes in the state of the tape is thereby enabled without dividing the same to the single fibers and the workability is greatly improved. |
