2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional small-fiber optical fiber cable, a cable as shown in FIG. 1 is used. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 denotes an optical fiber having a diameter of 125 μm, and reference numeral 2 denotes a sub-tension member of a single steel wire having an outer diameter of 0.4 mm. The sub-tension member 2 and the optical fiber 1 are collectively covered by extrusion molding of the unit sheath 4 to form an optical fiber unit 5, which is used alone as an indoor optical cable (indoor cable) or the like. At the center of the optical fiber unit 5, a groove 6 is provided so as to face up and down. The groove 6 is for facilitating tearing of the unit sheath 4 so as to facilitate opening (pulling out the optical fiber without damaging the optical fiber) when connecting such a low-fiber-optic fiber cable. Reference numeral 3 is a main tension member of a single steel wire having an outer diameter of 2.6 mm. The support wire 7 is coated with the unit sheath 4, and when used outdoors, the optical fiber unit 5 and the support wire 7 described above are simultaneously formed to form an outdoor light as shown in FIG. It will be an outdoor line (fictitious optical trough optical fiber).

In recent years, from the viewpoint of fire safety, the development of non-halogenated flame-retardant electric wires and flame-retardant cables, that is, electric wires and cables that generate less smoke and do not generate harmful gases such as hydrogen halide gas has been developed. Recently, from the viewpoint of environmental protection measures including the recycling of materials, expectations for such non-halogenation have increased, and it has become undesirable to use conventional polyvinyl chloride as a coating material. For this reason, the development of non-halogen flame-retardant compositions based on halogen-free organic polymers has been actively conducted. However, when such a composition is used as the above-mentioned unit sheath in a small-fiber optical fiber, the flame retardancy is insufficient or the elongation of the coating material is 40%.
There is a drawback that the workability of the extruding property is poor because it is 0% or more.
