The optical fiber-cable includes a first optical fiber core bundle and the jacket, and the jacket coats an outer circumference of the first optical fiber core bundle and includes a tension-resisting member buried in a cable longitudinal direction. The plurality of protective tubes cover and protect respective outer circumferences of a plurality of second optical fiber core bundles obtained by branching the first optical fiber core bundle extending from the end portion of the jacket.
