Abstract
The invention provides an optical fibre having a synthetic resin cladding, comprising a glass fibre, a first cladding layer of a synthetic rubber and a subsequent cladding layer of a synthetic resin the molecules of which are oriented substantially in the longitudinal direction of the glass fibre, in which a low application temperature, a low pressure and a high cladding rate can be used in that the oriented synthetic resin is formed from a curable synthetic resin composition which comprises one or more oligomeric compounds the molecules of which comprise reactive groups and the molecular weight of which is smaller than 5000. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing such an optical fibre and a device for cladding a glass fibre with a curable synthetic resin composition in which an elongation flow in the curable synthetic resin composition is produced to effect the orientation in the curable synthetic resin composition.
