INTERMITTENT CONNECTION TYPE OPTICAL FIBER TAPE CORE, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME, OPTICAL FIBER CABLE, AND OPTICAL FIBER CORD

An intermittently-coupled type optical fiber ribbon in which a plurality of ribbon type paired optical fibers each of which is integrally formed by bringing two optical fibers into contact with each other are arranged in parallel, and a coupling part in which adjacent ribbon type paired optical fibers are connected to each other and a non-coupling part in which ribbon type paired optical fibers are not connected are intermittently provided in a longitudinal direction, wherein an outer diameter dimension of the optical fiber is 0.22 mm or less, and a center distance of optical fibers adjacent with the coupling part interposed therebetween between the adjacent ribbon type paired optical fibers is 0.28 ± 0.03 mm.
