Nextrom soot deposition system OFC 06 can be used for soot overcladding of core preforms, which are made with any commercial preform manufacturing method (MCVD, PCVD, OVD or VAD).

Nextrom's OFC 06 for soot overcladding is a vertical soot deposition system being capable of soot overcladding up to 2 meter long preforms and having twice as high productivity as any other commercially available soot overcladding equipment. Compared to tube sleeving, the advantages of soot overcladding are lower material and production costs, enhanced fiber geometry with improved cut-off wavelength control and proof test as well as fiber final test yields. Vertical OFC 06 for soot overcladding can be used to overclad preforms up to a size, which is equivalent to 1800 km of fiber drawn from each preform.
