Abstract
A method for controlling attenuation losses caused by microbending on the signal transmitted by an optical fiber having an internal glass portion. A first coating layer of a first polymeric material surrounds the glass portion and a second coating layer of a second polymeric material surrounds the first coating layer. The first polymeric material has a hardening temperature lower than 10° and an equilibrium modulus lower than 1.5 MPa.
