<p>A method of manufacturing reinforced optical fiber (10) including conveying optical fiber from a source (12); symmetrically, coaxially winding reinforcing fiber (18) to a selected density per unit length around the optical fiber; forming a resin matrix among the reinforcing fibers; and coating the resin matrix with an external coating. Reinforcing a predetermined length of an elongated optical fiber comprises gradually reducing the thickness of the external coating and then gradually reducing the density of reinforcing fiber and the thickness of the resin matrix to form a transition from a reinforced fiber and a non-reinforced fiber.</p> |
