An optical fiber transmittion medium (150) includes optical fiber (21) provided with a coating system (31) typically including two layers each of a different coating material. An inner layer (32) of a first coating material is called the primary coating and an outer layer is termed the secondary. In order to achieve desired performance characteristics, performance is related to properties of a coating system. The coating materials have well defined moduli and the second coating material has an elongation which is substantially less than in prior secondary coating materials.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 15, 1990 and granted December 13, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 15, 2010.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
