Efficient and high quality fiber identification with UV-curable inks

$15.00

In past years, the use of solvent-based inks has been replaced by UV-curable inks in fiber identification. This paper describes the importance of material selection and process parameters for loose tube and ribbon cable applications. The tandemization of fiber coloring with other cabling processes is presented. Optical and mechanical properties for such a product are evaluated.
