Summary :

Primary silicone-rubber/secondary liquid-crystal-polyester (LCP)-coated optical fibers have loss increases as low as 18 dB/km even at liquid uitrogen temperatures. This result can be explained by both low contraction and the buffer effect against heat shock of the secondary LCP layer which results in less fiber bending.
