ABSTRACT:
Provided is an optical glass fiber assembly containing a matrix material and a plurality of coated optical glass fibers bound together by said matrix material, said matrix material having a swell index and/or glass transition temperature which provides the combination of properties of: (i) a swell index of a magnitude functionally capable of facilitating mid-span access to said optical glass fibers by a solvent stripping method of said matrix material from said optical glass fibers; and/or (ii) a glass transition temperature of a magnitude to facilitate end-access to said optical glass fibers by a heat stripping method of said matrix material from said optical glass fibers at an end terminus of said optical glass fiber assembly.
