An optical fiber drop cable is disclosed including an elongated optical
element section composed of an optical fiber core wire and at least one
pair of adjacent first tensile strength members, disposed on both sides of
the optical fiber core wire in parallel thereto, which are covered with a
cable sheath, and an elongated cable support wire section having a second
tensile strength member covered with a sheath and adhered to the optical
element section in parallel thereto. Since an outer periphery of the first
tensile strength member is formed in a rugged configuration, an increased
adhesive force is provided between the first tensile strength member and
the cable sheath due to an anchoring effect of the rugged configuration.
