Abstract
To improve identifiability of optical fiber ribbons, an exemplary optical fiber ribbon of the invention includes: at least three optical fibers arranged side by side; and a plurality of connection parts that each connect two adjacent ones of the optical fibers, the connection parts being provided intermittently in a length direction of the optical fibers and in a width direction of the optical fibers. A marking for identifying the optical fiber ribbon is provided to each optical fiber. The position, in the circumferential direction, of the marking provided to at least one of the optical fibers is different from the position, in the circumferential direction, of the marking provided to another optical fiber.
