Abstract:
A plastic optical fiber cable that is strong in repeated flexure, ensuring low light loss at bending with a bend radius of 2 mm. The plastic optical fiber cable is one composed of a multicore plastic optical fiber strand including 7 to 10,000 cores of transparent resin, island portions each consisting of at least one core-surrounding sheath layer of transparent resin with a refractive index lower than that of the transparent resin constituting the cores and sea portion of resin surrounding the island portions and, enclosing the multicore plastic optical fiber strand, a coating layer, characterized in that the resin constituting at least either the sheath layer or sea layer is one of 25 to 55 Shore D hardness while the resin constituting the coating layer consists of a thermoplastic resin of 500 to 2000 MP flexural modulus.
