Plastic optical fiber cable

A plastic optical fiber cable comprising:

• A plastic optical fiber having a core-clad structure:
• and
• A light blocking coating layer provided around the plastic optical fiber,
• wherein the outermost layer of the core/clad structure is made of a fluorine-containing olefin polymer containing at least a tetrafluoroethylene unit, the crystal melting heat of the fluorine-containing olefin polymer being 59 mJ/mg or lower;
• the light blocking coating layer is made of a resin primarily containing a polyamide resin, the total content of polyamide resin-derived monomer compounds and oligomer compounds being 1.5% by weight or lower;
• and
• the plastic optical fiber cable further comprises a protective coating layer provided between the outermost layer of the core/clad structure and the light blocking coating layer.
