ABSTRACT:
A plurality of optical fibers are arranged in parallel and peripheries of the plurality of these optical fibers are integrally formed using a sheath. Here, the sheath is formed over the entire length of optical fiber ribbons and a flat portion of the sheath is formed substantially parallel to a common tangent of the neighboring optical fibers. A maximum value of a thickness of the optical fiber ribbons is set to a value which is larger than an outer diameter of the optical fibers by 40 μm or less. Due to such a constitution, it is possible to easily branch the optical fibers from the integrally formed optical fiber ribbons.
