Abstract
An optical fiber ribbon comprises a plurality of optical fiber strands that are arranged side-by-side in one direction and integrated. The optical fiber ribbon comprises a plurality of optical fiber strands that are bonded in parallel. In the optical fiber ribbon, the adjacent optical fiber strands are bonded using a bonding section in which the same are continuously bonded along the entire length thereof and a bonding section in which the same are intermittently bonded at prescribed intervals. In other words, either of the bonding sections is formed between the adjacent optical fiber strands.
