    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical fiber ribbon includes: forming a colored layer on to each of a plurality of optical fibers and forming an optical fiber ribbon by curing a connecting material applied to a surface of the colored layer of each of the optical fibers to form connection parts that connect adjacent ones of the optical fibers. Forming the colored layer further includes: applying a coloring agent to the optical fibers and curing the coloring agent such that uncured resin remains on the surface of the colored layer. Forming the optical fiber ribbon further includes: applying the connecting material to the surface with the uncured resin and curing the connecting material and the uncured resin on the surface of the colored layer.

    Abstract: An optical fiber unit includes: a plurality of optical fibers; and at least two binding materials that bind the plurality of optical fibers. The two binding materials are wound around the plurality of optical fibers in an SZ shape and adhered to each other at reversed portions of the SZ shape to form an adhesive part. The adhesive part extends along a longitudinal direction where the optical fiber unit extends, and 0.15≤L/(P/2)≤0.8 is satisfied where L is a length of the adhesive part in the longitudinal direction and P is a binding pitch of the two binding materials in the longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: An optical cable includes optical fiber units each including a bundle of optical fibers. The optical fiber units are twisted together in an S-Z configuration in which a twisting direction of the optical fiber units is reversed at a reversal part and an adjacent reversal part adjacent to the reversal part. A twisting angle, by which the optical fiber units are twisted in a circumferential direction between the reversal part and the adjacent reversal part, is 540 degrees or greater.

    Abstract: A conduit for laying a cable includes a suspension wire, one or more hangers held by the suspension wire and having an accommodation space that accommodates the cable, and a groove extending along an axial direction of the suspension wire. The groove has an opening connected to the accommodation space. The opening has a width smaller than a maximum width of an interior of the groove.
