The invention provides a plastic optical fiber cable comprising a plastic
optical fiber having a core/clad structure, a light blocking coating
layer provided around the plastic optical fiber, and a protective coating
layer provided between the outermost layer of the core/clad structure and
the light blocking coating layer. The outermost layer of the core/clad
structure is made of a fluorine-containing olefin polymer containing at
least a tetrafluoroethylene unit, the crystal melting heat of the
fluorine-containing olefin polymer being 59 mJ/mg or lower. The light
blocking coating layer is made of a resin primarily containing a
polyamide resin, the content of polyamide resin-derived monomers and
oligomers being 1.5% by weight or lower.
