Zusammenfassung:To treat a surface of an optical fiber cable structure, substantially an entire length of the optical fiber cable structure is moved through an inline plasma treatment system. As the optical fiber cable structure is moved through the inline plasma treatment system, the surface of the optical fiber cable structure is continually exposed to plasma. Exposing the surface of the optical fiber cable structure to plasma modifies a characteristic of the surface of the optical cable structure to improve an ability of the surface of the optical fiber cable structure to adhere to a target material.
