ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber composite that can easily have a desired mean transmission property as a whole even after a length of optical fiber is cut off from one end or both ends, a cable comprising the composites, and methods for producing the composite and cable. An optical fiber composite10is produced by splicing a first optical fiber11, a second optical fiber12, and a third optical fiber13in this order. The first optical fiber11and the third optical fiber13each have a first chromatic dispersion, D1, at the wavelength of a signal-carrying lightwave. The second optical fiber12has a second chromatic dispersion, D2, at the wavelength of the signal-carrying lightwave. The third optical fiber has a length, L3, shorter than the length, L1, of the first optical fiber. It is desirable that the ratio L3/L1be at most 0.1.
