OPTICAL FIBER CABLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber cable of self-support type which can easily separate a support wire part and a main body part and does not break a support wire part when wound to a drum and unwounded from a drum. SOLUTION: The optical fiber cable of self-support type is composed of the main body part and the support wire part. The main body part 11 is constituted by arranging a tension member 15 and one or more coated optical fibers 14 in parallel and integrally covering and housing them with a main body part jacket 16. The support wire part 12 is constituted by covering a support wire 17 with a support wire part jacket 18 integrally molded with the main body part jacket 16. The main body part jacket 16 and the support wire part jacket 18 are separated from each other by a separation part 21 on the cable center and are integrated by a connection part 13 near both sides of the cable.
