Abstract
Provided is an optical fiber ribbon capable of achieving higher density and reduction in diameter and accurately placing optical fibers in V-shape grooves in a fusion machine without failure. The optical fiber ribbonincludes three or more of optical fibersarranged in parallel and connecting portionsconnecting adjacent two optical fiberstogether, the connecting portionsbeing intermittently provided in each of a ribbon longitudinal direction and a ribbon width direction. The connecting portionsare each formed in such a manner as to fill resin into a gap S formed between adjacent two optical fibers, and both surfaces of the respective connecting portionsare each formed into a recess having a concave shape curved toward a center of the gap S to separate from lineseach connecting contact points of the optical fiberswhen being placed on a horizontal surface.
