Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are tight-buffered and semi-tight-buffered optical fiber units. The optical fiber unit includes an optical fiber that is surrounded by a polymeric buffering layer to define a fiber-buffer interface. The buffering layer includes an aliphatic amide slip agent in an amount sufficient for at least some of the aliphatic amide slip agent to migrate to the buffer-fiber interface to thereby promote easy stripping of the buffering layer. For example, at least about 15 centimeters of the polymeric buffering layer can be removed from the optical fiber in a single operation using a strip force of less than about 10 N.
