  • Color coded optical fiber waveguides and method for coloring same
    Patent number: 4629285
    Abstract: To facilitate product identification and/or identification of individual optical glass fiber waveguides in a cable, the optical glass fiber waveguides are color coded with a relatively thin coating of color ultraviolet curable ink. The UV cured ink coating may cover the entire outer surface of the waveguide, or may be applied over less than the entire circumference or discontinuously along the length to form various patterns.

  • Apparatus for applying UV ink to glass fibers
    Patent number: 4570571
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided which applies and cures a coating of viscous ink to a moving strand material. This apparatus includes an ink applicator module which comprises a series of rotatable rollers which receive and apply the ink to the moving strand. This apparatus allows substantial quantities of glass fiber waveguide strand material to thus be coated with a UV curable ink in a relatively short period of time so that they may be color coded to facilitate handling and installation.
