摘要:
Provide is an optical fiber ribbon whereby a tape forming member can be easily removed after single core separation. The present invention is provided with: a plurality of optical fiber cores (10a, 10b) arranged in parallel spaced from each other; and a tape forming member (20) having coating portions (21a, 21b) covering an outer circumference of the optical fiber cores (10a, 10b), and a coupling portion (22a), integrally formed with the coating portions (21a, 21b), intermittently coupling adjacent optical fiber cores (10a, 10b), wherein the coating portions (21a, 21b) have opening portions (31, 32) to expose parts of surfaces of the optical fiber cores (10a, 10b), and at least a part of the coating portions (21a, 21b) is continuous in a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber cores (10a, 10b).
摘要:
Provided is an optical fiber ribbon capable of concurrently ensuring mid-span access performance and cable production performance. The optical fiber ribbon 1 includes three or more optical fibers 2 arranged in parallel and connecting portions 3 connecting the adjacent optical fibers 2, the connecting portions 3 being formed intermittently in each of a ribbon longitudinal direction X and a ribbon width direction Y. The optical fiber ribbon 1 including the connecting portions 3 having split strength which is set in the range from 1.50 gf to 21.0 gf, contributes to exhibiting both the mid-span access performance and the cable production performance.
