Optical fiber tape core wire, mold, and method for manufacturing optical fiber tape core wire

The optical fiber tape core wire has a plurality of optical fiber core wires and a common cladding layer integrally covering the plurality of optical fiber core wires. The optical fiber is characterized in that: a plurality of intermittent connection sections are formed in which first connection sections comprising the common cladding layer and non-connection sections comprising cutouts formed in the common cladding layer are alternately formed between a prescribed number of two or more optical fiber cores in the longitudinal direction of the plurality of optical fiber cores; and a plurality of continuous connection parts in which second connection parts comprising the common cladding layer are continuously formed between the optical fiber core wires other than the optical fiber core wires in which the plurality of intermittent connection parts are formed. The number of the optical fiber core wires is even. The plurality of intermittent connection portions have a central intermittent connection portion at a c
