Abstract

An optical fiber includes a glass core and a protective coating consisting of a single coating layer disposed to surround the glass core, wherein the single coating layer is formed from a cured polymeric material obtained by curing a radiation curable composition including: (i) a radiation curable urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, preferably including a backbone derived from polyoxytetramethylene glycol, (ii) at least one monofunctional reactive monomer, (iii) at least one multifunctional reactive monomer, and (iv) an adhesion promoter.
