Plastic coated optical fiber

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To decrease considerably the transmission loss that may increase as a result of long-term holding at elevated temp. by forming buffer layer of a silicone resin which is a specific organosiloxane compsn. having a reactive group. CONSTITUTION:A buffer layer 12 of a coated optical fiber 10 consists of a silicone resin such as silicone rubber which may be of a thermosetting type and for which a resin of a photosetting type is mainly used. The layer 12 consists of the hardened matter of an organosiloxane compsn. having a reactive group. The compsn. which is liquid in an uncured state but the group expressed by the formula is not substantially included in the molecules of said organosiloxane. The transmission loss that may increase as a result of long-term holding, etc. at elevated temp. is thus considerably decreased.
