Abstract: An optical fiber cord includes an optical fiber cord main body with a round sectional form, the optical fiber cord main body including a core which has an optical fiber ribbon in which N (N is an even number of 4 or larger) coated optical fibers are arranged in parallel, and a sheath which covers the core. In the optical fiber ribbon, connected parts and non-connected parts are intermittently formed in a longitudinal direction between the adjacent coated optical fibers.
