ABSTRACT:
A method for coating an optical fiber (1) has the optical fiber (1) exiting the longitudinal direction through a coating nozzle (10) from a volume (11) which is filled with a liquid hardenable coating material (6). The surface of the fiber is spaced from the wall (12) of the coating nozzle (10). The viscosity of the coating material (6) at room temperature is greater than 2500 mPa.multidot.s and the temperature of the coating material (6) is adjusted high enough for the coating material (6) to have a viscosity of less than 2000 mPa.multidot.s.
