Abstract
An optical fiber cable () according to each of the present disclosures includes a long tube () and at least one optical fiber () held and passed through an inside of the tube (). The tube () expands and contracts in a longitudinal direction when water pressure on an outside of the tube () changes. When the tube () expands and contracts in the longitudinal direction, the expansion and contraction of the tube () in the longitudinal direction is transmitted to the optical fiber () to expand and contract the optical fiber () in the longitudinal direction.
