Abstract
A method of forming an optical fiber buffer tube including the steps of providing a length of pre-shrunk tape having a predetermined width and thickness, forming the tape into a tube around at least one optical fiber, coating the formed tube with a molten material to close the tube, and cooling the molten material to maintain the shape of the tube. The method further includes calibrating the outer diameter of the coated tube during the cooling step by restraining the coated tube against outward radial expansion. An optical fiber buffer tube constructed according to the method is further provided.
