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.
