Abstract

An optical fiber includes an optical waveguide, a first coating layer disposed to surround the optical waveguide and a second coating layer disposed to surround the first coating layer, wherein the first coating layer is formed by a cured polymeric material obtained by curing a radiation curable composition including at least one (meth)acrylate monomer esterified with at least one branched alcohol having from 9 to 12 carbon atoms, and the second coating layer is formed by a cured polymeric material obtained by curing a radiation curable (meth)acrylate composition including from 0.8% to 1.5% by weight of silica, based on the total weight of the composition.
