Abstract
An optical fiber cable includes a cable main body including 3000 or more optical fibers, a sheath material receiving therein the optical fibers, and a multi-fiber connector connected to ends of the optical fibers, in which the sheath material includes 0.2% or more by mass and 1.5% or less by mass of silicone.
Claims7
An optical fiber cable comprising:
- a cable main body comprising 3000 or more optical fibers and a sheath material receiving therein the optical fibers;
- and
- a multi-fiber connector connected to ends of the optical fibers,
- wherein the sheath material includes 0.2% or more by mass and 1.5% or less by mass of silicone, and
- wherein a static friction coefficient between the sheath material and a flat plate formed of stainless steel is 0.20 or more and 0.46 or less.

An optical fiber cable comprising:
- a cable main body comprising 3000 or more optical fibers and a sheath material receiving therein the optical fibers;
- and
- a multi-fiber connector connected to ends of the optical fibers,
- wherein the sheath material includes 0.2% or more by mass and 1.5% or less by mass of silicone,
- wherein, while the optical fibers are arranged in parallel, the optical fibers are configured as an optical fiber ribbon with fiber adhesive parts and non-adhesive parts in which the fiber adhesive parts where adjacent optical fibers between some or all of the optical fibers are connected to each other, and the non-adhesive parts where the adjacent optical fibers between some or all of the optical fibers are not connected to each other are intermittently provided in a longitudinal direction,
- wherein the optical fiber cable further comprises a pitch conversion part that is provided between a first end of the optical fiber ribbon and the multi-fiber connector and converts pitch of the optical fibers,
- wherein the pitch of the optical fibers in the multi-fiber connector is longer than the pitch of the optical fibers in the optical fiber ribbon,
- wherein an outer diameter of the optical fiber is 160 μm or more and 185 μm or less, and
- wherein a core density of the cable main body is 10 fiber/mm2 or more.
