Original Abstract Submitted
An optical fiber cable includes optical fibers, a wrapping tube that wraps around the optical fibers and contacts outermost ones of the optical fibers, and a sheath that covers the wrapping tube and has recesses on an inner circumferential surface of the sheath. The recesses are recessed toward a radially outer side of the optical fiber cable such that a space exists between the wrapping tube and the sheath in each of the recesses.
