A tape-shaped optical fiber cable has: a tape member formed of a fiber
material and a cured resin formed around the fiber material; and an
optical fiber embedded in the tape member. The optical fiber is covered
by a covering material, the fiber material comprises a bidirectional
fiber material. The optical fiber is embedded in the tape member such
that one fiber array direction of the bidirectional fiber material is
parallel to a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber and the other
fiber array direction of the bidirectional fiber material is
perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber.
