    Abstract: An apparatus for applying gel to a plurality of optical fibers includes a housing having a cavity through which a plurality of separated optical fibers are fed. The gel is provided to the cavity from a gel reservoir via a pump that maintains the pressure and gel level to ensure that the optical fibers are coated with gel to eliminate air gaps and thus prevent sticking among the optical fibers.
