Abstract
The present invention relates to an optical fiber cable incorporating a multi-core fiber provided with a plurality of cores and a cladding region. The optical fiber cable has a jacket covering the multi-core fiber. The multi-core fiber is arranged so that a hold wrap holds the cores in a state in which they are provided with a bend of not more than a fixed radius of curvature, in order to reduce crosstalk between the cores.
