前記複数の光ファイバ心線の各々は、複数のコアを有するマルチコアファイバであり、
前記複数の光ファイバ心線の各々のガラス径が125μmより大きく、
心密度が11心/mm2以上である。
スロット型ケーブルはスロットロッドを備えるため、光ファイバ心線を高密度に実装することが難しい。スロットレス型ケーブルにおいても、現在一般的に使用されている主流のガラス径125μm、心線径250μmの光ファイバ心線では、光ファイバ心線の密度を高めるのに限界がある。
(課題を解決するための手段)
まず本開示の実施態様を列記して説明する。

一般的に、空気圧送によってダクト内に光ファイバケーブルを布設する場合、光ファイバケーブルの曲げ剛性が低いと、ケーブルが蛇行することがある。また、-30℃や-40℃の環境下では外被が収縮し、外被内において光ファイバ心線のマクロベンドが起こることがある。本開示によれば、各光ファイバ心線の曲げ剛性が0.25N・mm2以上であるため、光ファイバケーブルの曲げ剛性も高くなり、空気圧送時において光ファイバケーブルは蛇行しにくい。また低温環境下でのマクロベンドも発生しにくい。
本開示によれば、光ファイバケーブルの引張強度が1300N以上であるため、一般的な空気圧送に耐えうる光ファイバケーブルを実現することができる。
本開示によれば、複数の光ファイバ心線の各々のガラス径が175μm以上185μm以下であるため、ガラス径が125μmである光ファイバ心線と比較して、各光ファイバ心線の曲げ剛性が高い。したがって光ファイバケーブルは空気圧送時に蛇行しにくく、また低温環境下でのマクロベンドも発生しにくい。またコア間の間隔を広く確保することができるため、コア間の光信号の漏洩(クロストーク)を防ぐことができる。
本開示によれば、各光ファイバ心線は12心のコアを有するため、従来のコア数を有する光ファイバ心線と比較して、心密度をより一層高めることができる。
複数の光ファイバ心線として、間欠連結型光ファイバリボンを用いてもよい。間欠連結型光ファイバリボンを用いることによって、光ファイバケーブル内に、光ファイバ心線をより高密度に実装することが可能になる。
