An embodiment of the present invention makes it possible provide a reinforcement structure which (i) makes it possible to reinforce an optical fiber in a simple manner and (ii) decreases the likelihood of degradation of a heat-shrinkable tube. A reinforcement structure () includes a tension-resistance member (), a heat-shrinkable tube () which bundles a plurality of optical fibers () and the tension-resistance member (), and a radiator () which is in thermal contact with the tension-resistance member (). The tension-resistance member () has a flat surface which faces respective circumferential surfaces of the plurality of optical fibers ().
