This paper presents an in depth study on the applicability of ultraviolet curable color compounds for color coding of optical fibers as compared to present practice. The target of the study was to find the optimum wall thickness of the UV coating material, its long term residence value using MEK rubs, the speeds obtainable while maintaining acceptable curing, the processes suitability to field installation and splicing techniques.
