In the prior art, the commonly used standards for optical fiber ribbon cables are YD / T 981 and YD / T 979, which have three types: central bundle tube type, layer twisted type, and skeleton type. Both central bundle tube type and layer twisted type ribbon cables have loose tubes, and the optical fiber ribbon is placed in the internal space of the loose tube. However, in order to make the optical fiber ribbon not subject to or less subject to external stress during production and use, the inner diameter of the loose tube is usually larger than the length of the cross section of the optical fiber ribbon. When multiple optical fiber ribbons are stacked, the inner diameter of the loose tube is longer than the diagonal length of the stacked body of the optical fiber ribbon. However, with the intensification of competition, people hope that the size of the optical fiber ribbon is as small as possible, so as to meet the requirements of reducing the various auxiliary materials outside the optical fiber ribbon and lowering the cost of the optical cable.
