ABSTRACT:
A device for applying a coating material to an optical fiber (1) has a coating nozzle (7) arranged in a nozzle holder (3) and a coating chamber (17) located before the coating nozzle (7) in the direction of travel of the optical fiber (1). Beyond that the device has at least one inlet channel (19) which is connected to the coating chamber (17), as well as a number of feed lines (23) for different coating materials. A connection can be established between one of the feed lines (23) and the at least one inlet channel (19), so that a change of coating material can be made in a simple manner, particularly a color change, without costly conversion and cleaning operations.
