Abstract
An optical fiber unit includes: an optical fiber bundle formed by bundling a plurality of optical fibers; and a plurality of bundling members. Each of the bundling members is wound on an outer circumference of the optical fiber bundle along a length direction of the optical fiber bundle while a winding direction of the bundling member is reversed alternately, and joined with another bundling member at reverse sections where the winding direction of the bundling member is reversed. A region surrounded by a pair of the bundling members to be joined at the reverse sections includes a joining point at one of the reverse sections of another pair of the bundling members.
