The invention relates to a bending-resistant single-mode
optical fiber with a small outer
diameter, which comprises a core layer and a cladding layer, and is characterized in that the
relative refractive index difference n1 of the core layer is 0.3-0.45%, the
radius R1 of the core layer is 5.5-7 microns, the cladding layer sequentially comprises a transition cladding layer, an inner cladding layer, a sunken cladding layer and an outer cladding layer from inside to outside, the
relative refractive index of the transition cladding layer is gradually reduced from inside to outside, and the inner cladding layer is a concave cladding layer. The
relative refractive index difference n3 of the inner cladding layer is-0.3% to-0.7%, the
radius R3 of the inner cladding layer is 8-14 [mu] m, the relative
refractive index difference n4 of the sunken cladding layer is-0.6% to-0.75%, the
radius R4 of the sunken cladding layer is 28-35 [mu] m, the outer cladding layer is a pure
silica glass layer, the radius R5 of the outer cladding layer is 60.1-62.5 [mu] m, a
coating layer is coated outside the outer cladding layer, and the outer
diameter of the
coating layer is 150-175 [mu] m. By optimizing the section structure of the
optical fiber and improving the performance of the
coating layer, the bending performance and the mechanical performance of the
optical fiber are effectively ensured on the premise of reducing the coating
diameter, and the fracture rate per 100 kilometers is reduced.
