ABSTRACT:
A mid-span branching method for an optical path including a multi-fiber optical cable which is constituted by a multi-fiber ribbon with a plurality of optical fibers arranged in a plane and integrated with a common coating, includes the first step of exposing an intermediate portion of the multi-fiber ribbon from the multi-fiber optical cable (step 101), the second step of extracting the exposed multi-fiber ribbon (step 102), the step of separating at least one single-core optical fiber from the extracted multi-fiber ribbon (step 103), and the step of connecting the single-core optical fiber separated from the multi-fiber optical cable to a single-core optical fiber branched from a branch cable (steps 104, 105).
