Abstract
This invention provides: PA0 (i) an acitve energy beam-curable composition for coating the surface of optical fibers therewith, the composition comprising about 100 parts by weight of an active energy beam-curable substance, about 0.5 to about 100 parts by weight of a particulate substance having a mean particle size of about 0.2 to about 200 .mu.m and optionally a photopolymerization initiator; PA0 (ii) a coated optical fiber prepared by applying the composition of item (i) to the surface of an optical fiber and curing the coating; PA0 (iii) a bundle-type optical fiber cable prepared using the coated optical fiber of item (ii); PA0 (iv) an optical fiber unit of the tape type prepared by applying the composition of item (i) to optical fibers and curing the coating; and PA0 (v) an optical fiber prepared using the optical fiber unit of item (iv).
