This fiber has high mechanical strength and high resistance to moisture penetration. Additionally, external damage protection, abrasion resistance, adhesion, toughness, coating stripping force, and bending insensitivity meet the fiber requirements. Carbon-sealed double-coated optical fibers are better than conventional double-coated optical fibers and hermetically coated optical fibers for use as optical telecommunications. Moreover, this fiber is superior to nickel-sealed double-coated optical fiber in terms of water repellency and bending diameter.
