Abstract
An optical fiber cable includes a cable core including a plurality of optical fibers, at least one tensile strength member provided along the cable core, and a sheath configured to cover the cable core from an outside and enclose the tensile strength member. The tensile strength member is provided at one location on the sheath in a cross-sectional view. A core density obtained by dividing the number of the plurality of optical fibers by a cross-sectional area of the cable is 1.5 core/mm2 or more.

An optical fiber cable comprising:
- a cable core including a plurality of optical fibers;
- a plurality of tensile strength members each provided along the cable core;
- and
- a sheath configured to cover the cable core from an outside and enclose the tensile strength member,
- wherein the plurality of tensile strength members is provided adjacent to each other at only one location on the sheath in a cross-sectional view, and
- wherein a core density obtained by dividing the number of the plurality of optical fibers by a cross-sectional area of the cable is 1.5 core/mm2 or more.
