Coating optical cables with UV adhesive

Home / Coating optical cables with UV adhesive

UV-curable adhesives allow bonding fibers to ferrules and housings, tacking sleeves, encapsulating components, and potting bundles with minimal thermal load on sensitive coatings. UV-curable inks are used to mark plastic optical fiber cables with clear and durable text, barcodes, or logos, while UV-curable coatings can be applied to protect fibers from environmental factors and improve their optical performance. Market leader Covestro uses unique technical capabilities to identify solutions and deliver high performance fiber coatings for the world's telecommunications market. Fiber optic manufacturing processes take advantage of UV curing's fast speed (up to 3,400 meters/min) and process. To secure fibre-optic cables, fibre arrays and waveguides, Hoenle has developed special adhesives that can allow an unimpeded transmission of light at optical interfaces. To maintain their light transmission properties, they do not yellow or otherwise change in colour with age.
