Abstract

See full text

An apparatus (10) for applying gel to a plurality of optical fibers (18) includes a housing (12) having a cavity (14) through which a plurality of separated optical fibers (18) are fed. The gel is provided to the cavity (14) from a gel reservoir (76) via a pump (74) that maintains the pressure and gel level to ensure that the optical fibers (18) are coated with gel to eliminate air gaps and thus prevent sticking among the optical fibers (18).
