    Abstract: An optical fiber unit includes: an optical fiber bundle formed by bundling a plurality of optical fibers; and a plurality of bundling members. Each of the bundling members is wound on an outer circumference of the optical fiber bundle along a length direction of the optical fiber bundle while a winding direction of the bundling member is reversed alternately, and joined with another bundling member at reverse sections where the winding direction of the bundling member is reversed. A region surrounded by a pair of the bundling members to be joined at the reverse sections includes a joining point at one of the reverse sections of another pair of the bundling members.

    Abstract: An objective of the disclosure is to improve workability in extracting optical fibers in an optical fiber unit in which a bundle of optical fibers is bundled by bundling members, and to suppress/prevent an increase in transmission loss even when tension is applied to the bundling members. This optical fiber unit includes: a plurality of optical fibers; and at least three bundling members that bundle the optical fibers into a bundle. A first bundling member, among the plurality of bundling members, is arranged along a length direction of the bundle of optical fibers so as to be wound on an outer circumference of the bundle of optical fibers. The first bundling member is joined with a second bundling member at a contact point where the first bundling member contacts the second bundling member, and is joined with a third bundling member, which is different from the second bundling member, at a contact point where the first bundling member contacts the third bundling member. The first bundling member's winding direction with respect to the bundle of optical fibers is reversed at the contact point with the second bundling member and at the contact point with the third bundling member.

    Abstract: An optical fiber unit includes: an optical fiber bundle formed by bundling a plurality of optical fibers; and a plurality of bundling members. One bundling member of the plurality of bundling members is wound on an outer circumference of the optical fiber bundle in a length direction of the optical fiber bundle, while reversing a winding direction alternately, and is joined to another bundling member at a section where the winding direction is reversed. A ratio of a width of a cross-section of the bundling member to a thickness of the cross-section of the bundling member is smaller than 20.

    Abstract: An optical fiber cable includes a core including a plurality of units which are assembled and each of which comprises a plurality of optical fibers which are assembled, a pair of tension members disposed so as to face each other with the core interposed therebetween, and a sheath covering the core and the pair of tension members collectively. The units are twisted so as to form a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers includes a first layer having first-layer units formed in an SZ-twisted shape and a second layer having second-layer units formed in an SZ-twisted shape. A twisting direction of the first-layer units is opposite to a twisting direction of the second-layer units in at least a portion in a cable length direction.
