    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber cable incorporating different sized multiple stacks of optical fiber ribbons. SOLUTION: The stacks are composed of a central stack positioned at the nearly center within the passage of a jacket and peripheral stacks positioned radially around the central stack. The difference exists between the dimension of the central stack and the dimension of one or plural peripheral stacks. A buffer container individually incorporating the peripheral stacks is intertwined in the longitudinal direction around the central stack. Inner surfaces extending in the longitudinal direction are included in respective buffer containers, these inner surfaces extend around the passage extending in the longitudinal direction, and the passage is demarcated by these inner surfaces. Individual stacks are incorporated in the passage. The considerable parts in the periphery of respective peripheral stacks are surely bounded by respective inner surfaces which are meshed with these parts.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the access to fibers in a central part when optical fiber ribbons are divided by allowing the fibers selected among the plural color coded optical fibers to have the strength of adhesion varying between fiber coating layers and a matrix. SOLUTION: The individual optical fibers 21 to 24 and 26 to 29 are coated with the colored layers and are then cured, and arrayed in the prescribed positions of the ribbon and are sealed into a matrix material 18. The number of the optical fibers included in respective sub-units and the number of the sub-units by which the ribbon is divided are determined. The adhesive power between the matrix of the first and second adjacent fibers and the adhesive layers is increased, by which the optical fiber ribbon which can be divided to the plural sub-units is obtained. The colored layers of the respective fibers contain peeling agents. The amounts of the peeling agents of the first and second fibers are decreased. The amounts of the peeling agents of the first and second fibers are preferably specified to about 15 to 40% of the amounts of the remaining peeling agents.

    Abstract: A variable fiber count optical fiber cable core is disclosed. The cable core is intended for use as a part of an optical fiber cable, the optical fiber cable having an elongate cylindrical core tube formed about a longitudinal axis, and within which the cable core is received. The cable core comprises a stac k of a plurality of variable fiber count optical fiber units formed about the longitudinal axis of the core tube, and housed therein. The stack of the optical fiber units will comprise at least a first optical fiber unit having a first predetermined number of fibers therein, and at least a second optical fiber unit having a second predetermined number of optical fibers therein, where the first and second predetermined numbers of optical fibers differ from one another within the stack of optical fiber units. So constructed, the number of optic al fibers within selected ones of the stack of optical fiber units will be vari ed dependent on the position of the selected ones of the optical fiber units within the stack of optical fiber units, and so that the stack of optical fiber uni ts takes on the approximate shape of a cylindrical cable core within the cable core tube. Each of the optical fiber units comprised a first predetermined number of optical fibers sub-units joined together, each of the optical fiber sub-units being comprised of a second predetermined number of optical fibers, where both the first and second predetermined numbers of sub-units and optical fibers, respectively, comprise integers.
