Abstract: Provided is an optical fiber cable whereby macrobend loss can be suppressed even when ribbons are mounted at high density in grooves. An optical fiber cable provided with optical units in which ribbons each having a plurality of optical fiber cores arranged in parallel are collected, a slot rod having a plurality of grooves for accommodating optical units, a tension member on which tension is applied, and a cable jacket for covering the outside of the slot rod. Each of the optical units is accommodated in the corresponding groove in a stranded state, and the occupancy of the optical units calculated from the cross-sectional area of the optical units with respect to the cross-sectional area of the groove is 25% to 65%.

Abstract: An intermittent-connection-type optical fiber ribbon in which a plurality of optical fiber core wires are disposed in parallel, and which includes: a connecting part where adjacent optical fiber core wires are connected; and a non-connecting part where adjacent optical fiber core wires are not connected, the connecting parts and the non-connecting parts are provided intermittently in a longitudinal direction, the non-connecting parts are not provided in the longitudinal direction between two the optical fiber core wires, the connecting part is recessed, and in a case where, in the longitudinal direction, a is length of the connecting part, b is length of a part where the non-connecting part between different optical fiber core wires overlap, c is length of the non-connecting part, and p is an interval of the connecting parts, c/a?1.5, b?50 mm, and (c/a)×p?200 mm are set.

Abstract: An optical fiber cable comprises optical units having a plurality of optical fiber ribbons, a slot rod having a plurality of slot grooves in which the optical units are accommodated, and a cable sheath configured to cover an outer side of the slot rod, each of the optical fiber ribbons is intermittently provided with coupling portions, at which adjacent optical fibers are coupled therebetween, and non-coupling portions, at which adjacent optical fibers are not coupled therebetween, in a longitudinal direction between a part or all of the optical fibers in a state where the plurality of optical fibers is arranged in parallel, and an outer diameter of the optical fiber cable is 35 mm or less and a number of the optical fibers in the optical unit accommodated in one slot groove is 100 or more.
