Abstract: The system and methods for marking an optical fiber with color-coded marks disclosed herein include forming closely spaced multiple ink streams, with at least two of the ink streams having different colors. The optical fiber moves over a fiber path that resides adjacent the ink streams. The fiber path and the ink streams are made to briefly intersect so that the ink streams form on the outer surface of the optical fiber a group of spaced apart individual marks, wherein the group of individual marks constitute a color-coded mark. Repeating this marking process at different times as the fiber moves over the fiber path forms spaced apart color-coded marks along the length of the fiber. Subsequent drying and overcoating of the marks fixes and protects the color-coded marks.

Abstract: Curable coating compositions having a high degree of cure and high modulus upon excitation with an LED or laser source are described. The curable coating compositions include one or more radiation-curable monomers and one or more photoinitiators. The curable coating compositions are preferably devoid of oligomers. The LED or laser source preferably provides UV radiation having a peak wavelength in the range from 360 nm-410 nm.
