Abstract
An optical fiber cable includes a cable core that includes a plurality of optical fibers, a sheath that is provided around the cable core, a reinforcing sheet that is embedded in the sheath, and a tensile strength member that is embedded in the sheath. The reinforcing sheet is disposed such that a gap is formed in a part in a circumferential direction of the cable core. The tensile strength member is disposed such that a part of the tensile strength member overlaps a line segment connecting a first end portion and a second end portion of the reinforcing sheet in the circumferential direction.
