Abstract

A process for coating at least one optical waveguide with a filling compound has at least two successive filling stages separated by a wiping device of reduced cross section. In the region of the wiping device, a proportion of the filling compound which is thus wiped off is led past the wiping device by a bypass and is fed once more to coat the optical waveguide in the second filling stage.
