Abstract

An optical fiber cable in which at least those metallic members of the optical fiber cable which are of high chemical reactivity and electrochemical reactivity are each precoated with a film for preventing them from making direct contact with water when it diffuses into the cable. The film may be a nonmetallic film or a metallic film of low chemical reactivity and electrochemical reactivity.
