<p>A coated optical fiber, preferably a GGP optical fiber includes an optical fiber core, and a silica cladding over the optical fiber core, to provide a silica clad core. A permanent polymeric coating forms on the silica cladding during ultraviolet radiation of a photocurable composition containing a non-hydrolyzable photoinitiator. The coated optical fiber has a diameter from 120 microns to 160 microns and a relative frequency distribution of at least 85 % for dynamic fatigue measurements between 49.2 x 10?3 kg/cm2¿ (700kpsi) and 63.3 x 10?3 kg/cm2¿ (900kpsi).</p> |
