Color coded optical fiber waveguides and method for coloring same

摘要

To facilitate product identification and/or identification of individual optical glass fiber waveguides in a cable, the optical glass fiber waveguides are color coded with a relatively thin coating of color ultraviolet curable ink. The UV cured ink coating may cover the entire outer surface of the waveguide, or may be applied over less than the entire circumference or discontinuously along the length to form various patterns.
