Abstract: An optical fiber includes a core, a clad and a coating layer. The core is made of glass, has a higher refractive index than that of the clad, and can guide propagating light. The clad surrounding the core is made of glass or plastic. The coating layer surrounding the clad is made of plastic. The core has a diameter d1 of from 70 to 105 ?m. The clad has a diameter d2 of from 80 to 130 ?m. The glass has a diameter of from 70 to 130 ?m. The coating layer has a thickness t3 of from 12.5 to 85 ?m. The optical fiber has an effective numerical aperture NA of from 0.28 to 0.35.

Abstract: An optical-electrical composite cable 1A includes a ribbon optical fiber 10 including a plurality of optical fibers, a tube 20 accommodating the ribbon optical fiber 10, a sheath 50 covering the tube 20, and a plurality of electric wires 60 arranged between an outer surface of the tube 20 and an inner surface of the sheath 50. A center axis line of the tube 20 and a center axis line of the sheath 50 are apart from each other. The center axis line of the sheath 50 is located inside the tube 20. The plurality of electric wires 60 is located eccentrically on an opposite side to the center axis line of the tube 20 with respect to the center axis line of the sheath 50. Such a configuration provides an optical-electrical composite cable that has an even smaller diameter.

Abstract: An optical cable includes an optical fiber ribbon core wire provided with an optical fiber having a core and a cladding that surrounds the core, a sheath that surrounds the optical fiber ribbon core wire, and a braid arranged inside the sheath. The braid is formed to include wires woven with each other. In the optical cable, the wire that forms the braid is pushed into the sheath so that the sheath is integrated with the braid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multimode optical fiber including a glass fiber, and a coating member provided on an outer periphery of the glass fiber. The glass fiber extends along a predetermined central axis, and includes at least a core region having a GI-type refractive index profile. The coating member has a refractive index that is higher than a minimum refractive index of the core region. According to this configuration, leakage of a higher-order mode with a large group delay difference to the coating member side is facilitated.

Abstract: In an optical cable 1, the ratio of the inner diameter ID to the outer diameter OD of a tube 20 is 0.5 or less, and thus the tube 20 has a comparatively thick wall. Consequently, even when the optical cable 1 is bent to a small bend radius of, for example, approximately 2 mm, a kink in a portion of the tube 20 corresponding to the inner side of the bending is suppressed. As a result, damage to a coated optical fiber 10 or an increase in transmission loss arising from the occurrence of a kink in the tube 20 is suppressed.

Abstract: An optical cable comprises a coated optical fiber having an optical fiber which includes a core made of glass and a cladding surrounding the core and a jacket made of a thermoplastic resin. The jacket is directly covering the coated optical fiber while in close contact therewith. In the optical cable, the optical fiber has the highest modulus of elasticity in materials constituting the optical cable, a glass diameter of the optical fiber is at least 30 ?m but not more than 200 ?m while being 5% or less of a cable diameter of the optical cable, and a distortion occurring in the optical fiber when bending the optical cable by 180° is 6% or less.

Abstract: The photoelectric composite cable 11 includes: an optical fiber 12; and a plurality of three or more electric wires 15, wherein, in a case where a cross-section of the photoelectric composite cable is viewed in a direction perpendicular to the cross-section, the plurality of electric wires 15 are each independently arranged on a circumference of a periphery of the optical fiber 12. The photoelectric composite cable 11 can be smoothly wired in a narrow space or the like while maintaining good transmission characteristics of optical fibers 12 by suppressing the optical fibers 12 from being applied with an external force without an increase in the diameter of the cable 11.
