The present embodiment relates to a CC-MCF capable of generating sufficient mode coupling even with bending or twisting less. The CC-MCF includes two fiber parts having cores mutually directly or indirectly connected, each fiber part having a plurality of cores in which a pair of adjacent cores has a mode-coupling coefficient of 1 (1/m) or more. Each fiber part is provided with a transition section including a fiber end face and a stationary section adjacent to the transition section. In the stationary section, the MFD of each core is substantially constant in a fiber longitudinal direction, and in the transition section, the MFD of each core is continuously expanding from the stationary section to the fiber end face.
