An arrangement for coating a fibre, more particularly an optical fibre, comprising a housing (31) with a pressure chamber (61) which is in communication with a connection (63) for the supply of liquid coating material. A fibre to be coated is supplied via a guide duct (59) in a tubular guide member (55), traverses the pressure chamber (61) and leaves the device (11) via an outlet opening (41) in a nozzle (40). The tubular guide member (55) is made of an elastically deformable material. By means of two spindles (79), the end of the tubular guide member (55) can be adjusted so that the coating is centered with respect to the fibre and a coaxial location of fibre and coating is obtained. |
