Abstract
Disclosed is an air blown optical fiber unit having beads attached on its surface. The air blown optical fiber unit includes at least one optical fiber, a buffer layer surrounding the optical fiber and made of polymer resin, an outer layer surrounding the buffer layer and made of polymer resin, and beads attached on a surface of the outer layer to have height of 40 μm to 120 μm on the average. This air blown optical fiber unit gives improved installation characteristics.
