Abstract

An optical insulated core with a coated optical fiber (2) shows a core jacket (4) with a core jacket material containing polyvinylchloride (41) which is applied to the coating of the optical fiber. It contains a solid component (42) distributed within the core jacket material, which produces a mechanical separation effect against the coating of the optical fiber. The solid component (42) is mixed and distributed into the core jacket material during a compounding process. Thus the core jacket can be removed from the coating of the optical fiber in a simple way.
