The invention discloses an 8-shaped low-addition decay type optical cable which comprises a cable core and a suspension wire, wherein the cable core is connected with the suspension wire through a suspension band, the cable core comprises a first reinforcement piece, a first outer protection layer and transmission optical fibers, the suspension wire comprises a second reinforcement piece and a second outer protection layer, the first reinforcement piece is made of non-metal high-strength fibers, a column body is arranged on the periphery of the first reinforcement piece, the column body is tightly combined with the first reinforcement piece, longitudinally extends along the first reinforcement piece, and is made of macromolecule materials, at least one groove is formed in the outer surface of the column body, at least one transmission optical fiber is placed inside the groove, the first outer protection layer which is made of the macromolecule materials is arranged on the periphery of the column body, and the second reinforcement piece is made of the non-metal high-strength fibers. The 8-shaped low-addition decay type optical cable has the advantages of being simple in structure, reasonable in design, low in cost, flexible in use mode, good in use effect, capable of effectively reducing additional decay changes, caused by environmental factors, of the transmission fibers, and wide in market application prospect.
