Abstract :
In air blown fiber system, the fiber bundles must be carefully manufactured so they feed through the blowing head and slide along the installed tubes without lubricant. In this paper, the package materials and the process for ABF are studied. The UV curable coating material makes it possible to produce ABF optical bundle faster and cheaper than conventional thermal process.
