Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber unit or the like in which the occurrence of kink is not caused even if tension is released.SOLUTION: Two main methods are considered as for the methods for twisting optical fiber ribbons 3 from a state S1. One is a method for twisting by steps of a state S2 and a state S3, and the other is the method for twisting by the steps of a state S4 and a state S5. The former is so-called stranding-up of twisting back of 100%, and the latter is so-called stranding-up of twisting back of 0%. The optical fiber ribbons 3 are to be twisted by the twisting back of substantially 100%. Namely, optical fiber ribbons 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are twisted at an angle of 90° to the states S1-S3, but only the arrangement in the circumferential direction to the center O of the twist is changed while being directed in substantially constant directions, respectively. Accordingly, the twist may not be caused by the optical fiber ribbons 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d alone.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】張力が解放されてもキンクの発生の生じることがない光ファイバユニット等を提供する。【解決手段】状態S1から、光ファイバテープ心線3を撚り合わせる方法としては、大きく2つの方法が考えられる。一方は、状態S2、状態S3の工程で撚り合わせる方法であり、他方は、状態S4、状態S5の工程で撚り合わせる方法である。前者は、いわゆる撚り返し100%の撚り合わせであり、後者はいわゆる撚り返し0%の撚り合わせである。光ファイバテープ心線3を、撚り返しが略100%で撚り合わせるものとする。すなわち、光ファイバテープ心線3a、3b、3c、3dは、状態S1〜S3まで、90°の角度で撚り合わせられるが、それぞれ略一定の方向に向いた状態で、撚りの中心Oに対する周方向の配置だけが変化する。したがって、光ファイバテープ心線3a、3b、3c、3d単独では、捻じれが生じることがない。【選択図】図3
