Optical fiber cord and optical cord ribbon

An optical cord ribbon comprising:

• a plurality of mono-fiber type optical fiber cords;
• and
• a bundling coat for integrally coating said plurality of mono-fiber type optical fiber cords;
• wherein each of said plurality of mono-fiber type optical fiber cords further comprises;
• a coated optical fiber composed of an optical fiber and a fiber coat for covering said optical fiber;
• a coat for covering said coated fiber, and having a substantially rectangular sectional surface;
• and
• a reinforcing member within said coat for coated optical fiber, said reinforcing member being comprised of a plurality of strength rods,
• wherein said plurality of strength rods are located along one of the shorter sides of said coat in the substantially parallel direction with said shorter sides in such a manner as to be embedded along the longitudinally extending direction of said coated optical fiber,
• and said bundling coat is integrally coated on said plurality of mono-fiber type optical fiber cords, the longer sides of adjacent mono-fiber type fiber cords being abutted to each other, and each of said reinforcing members are aligned in a side-by-side manner.
