Abstract
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an intermittently connected optical fiber ribbon that includes a plurality of optical fibers arranged side by side, and connection parts arranged intermittently and each connecting two adjacent optical fibers. The method involves: a step of applying, between the optical fibers, a UV-curable resin including a siloxane structure in its molecule; a step of removing a portion of the UV-curable resin applied between the optical fibers; and a step of irradiating the UV-curable resin between the optical fibers with UV rays and forming the connection parts.
