An optical fiber cable having a slot core which includes a plurality of ribs formed along a cable longitudinal direction and in which slot grooves for housing optical fibers are formed between the ribs. The optical fiber cable includes: subunits each of which is formed by bundling a plurality of intermittent-connection-type optical fiber ribbons in which a connection part where adjacent optical fibers are connected to each other and a non-connection part where adjacent optical fibers are not connected to each other are intermittently provided in the longitudinal direction among some or all of optical fibers; and a thin-skin-shaped tube having Young's modulus lower than Young's modulus of a material forming the slot core. The subunits are housed in the slot grooves, and among the subunits in the slot grooves, at least a subunit located at an outer peripheral part of the slot grooves is covered with the tube.
