The present invention relates to an optical fiber product suitable for
fabricating an optical cable that requires a complicated length
adjustment. The optical fiber product includes an effective use portion
used as the optical cable, surplus portions connected to both ends of the
effective use portion, and a distinguishing structure clearly indicating
boundary portions between the effective use portion and the surplus
portions. With the above structure, the surplus portions that become
finally unnecessary are surely cut off in a fabrication step of the
optical cable, thus enabling collect use of only effective use portion as
the optical cable.
