An optical insulated core with a coated optical fiber ( 2 ) shows a core jacket ( 4 ) with a core jacket material containing polyvinylchloride ( 41 ) which is applied to the coating of the optical fiber. It contains a solid component ( 42 ) distributed within the core jacket material, which produces a mechanical separation effect against the coating of the optical fiber. The solid component ( 42 ) is mixed and distributed into the core jacket material during a compounding process. Thus the core jacket can be removed from the coating of the optical fiber in a simple way.
