Abstract

An optical fiber ribbon comprising a plurality of the coated optical fibers 2 arranged in plane and flame-retardant films 4a and 4b to integrate the coated optical fibers 2 is provided. The flame-retardant films 4a and 4b have an adhesive layer 5 formed thereon, and a plurality of the coated optical fibers 2 arranged in plane are integrated by the adhesive layer. The optical fiber ribbon 1 in this constitution uses flame-retardant films, wherein the ribbon thickness can be lowered and separation of single fiber can be facilitated by tearing off the film.
