Grounding structure of optical fiber cable

A grounding structure of an optical fiber cable, wherein the optical fiber cable comprises:

• a sheath, a plurality of optical fibers housed in the sheath, and a first tension member and a second tension member embedded in the sheath so as to interpose the optical fibers therebetween in a radial direction, the grounding structure comprising:
• a conductive member that electrically connects a first extending portion of the first tension member and a second extending portion of the second tension member,
• wherein the conductive member comprises:
• a first attachment portion attached to the first extending portion;
• a second attachment portion attached to the second extending portion;
• and
• a connection portion that connects the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion,
• wherein the connection portion is deformable, and a distance between the first and the second attachment portions is adjustable by deforming the connection portion,
• wherein:
• the first extending portion and the second extending portion extend from an end portion of the sheath,
• a length of the second extending portion in a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber cable is greater than a length of the first extending portion in the longitudinal direction, and
• the second extending portion is held by a tension member holding portion and is electrically connected to a grounding circuit.
