Abstract
An optical fiber cable enabling further reduction of possibilities of disconnection of optical fiber due to, for instance, cicada oviposition. The optical fiber cable (10) is provided with: an optical fiber core (1); a tension member (2), which is arranged in parallel to the optical fiber core (1) on one side or on the both sides of the optical fiber core (1); and a sheath (3) which integrally covers the optical fiber core (1) and the tension member (2). At least one portion of the sheath (3) is composed of a polymeric material having a yield point stress of 12 MPa or higher.
Claims5
An optical fiber cable comprising:
- an optical fiber core wire;
- a tension member arranged on one side or both sides of the optical fiber core wire in parallel with the optical fiber core wire;
- and
- a sheath which integrally covers the optical fiber core wire and the tension member,
- wherein at least a part of the sheath is made of a polymeric material having a stress at a yield point of 12 MPa or more.
