Abstract

An optical cable in which two branch core wires are formed at the end of the optical fiber core wire. Further, an optical cable line in which a plurality of optical fiber core wires are connected to each other through the ends of the core wires, wherein two branched core wires are formed at the connecting ends of the respective optical fiber core wires, the optical fiber core wires are connected to each other through the branch core wires, and the connector by the branch core wire is formed in a double channel connector. Thus, the optical cable can be readily switched without momentary disconnection.
