Abstract
An optical fiber cable includes a plurality of optical fibers, a tensile strength member set that is disposed along the plurality of optical fibers in a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber cable, and a sheath that covers the plurality of optical fibers from outside and encloses the tensile strength member set in the sheath. In the optical fiber cable, at least four tensile strength member sets are embedded in the sheath in a state where the four tensile strength member sets are apart from each other in a radial direction of the optical fiber cable, the sheath includes a flame-retardant inorganic substance and a release agent, and a distance from one of the four tensile strength member sets to a surface layer of the sheath is 0.5 mm or more.
