Abstract
The present invention relates to an optical fiber ribbon (100) having a plurality of optical fibers (102) arranged substantially parallel to one another and a plurality of resin joints (116) applied intermittently for contacting the color layer (114) of each pair of adjacent optical fibers to form bonded portions of the optical fiber ribbon (100). In particular, each optical fiber of the plurality of optical fibers (102) further comprises one or more coatings (108), a passive layer (112) surrounding the one or more coatings (108), a color layer (114) surrounding the passive layer (112).
