ABSTRACT:
A coil of optical fiber can be self-supporting by bearing a layer of brittle thermoplastic adhesive that adheres adjacent convolutions of the fiber together. Because it is self-supporting, the coil needs no hub so that either end of the fiber can be unwound. Preferred thermoplastic adhesives are marketed in the optical industry as blocking waxes.
