ABSTRACT:
In order to provide improved resistance to attack by atmospheric water etc. a clad glass optical fibre has a plastic coating which is in turn coated with a metal coating. The metal coating may in turn be coated with a second plastic coating. The metal coating is formed by drawing the plastic coated fibre through a globule of molten metal, the surface of which is exposed to an oxygen rich atmosphere.
