FIELD: methods and devices for drawing of optical fibers. SUBSTANCE: method includes the following operations: drawing of uncoated optical fiber with continuous monitoring and regulation of diameter of uncoated optical fiber; continuous cooling of hot uncoated optical fiber; forced cooling of uncoated optical fiber; application of coating from acrylic or silicon resin to surface of uncoated optical fiber upon leaving the cooling section; hardening of optical fiber with coating and winding of coated fiber on bobbin. The device for embodiment of the method has furnace for remelting of intermediate product of optical fiber, fiber diameter monitoring and regulation unit, fiber cooling sections, coating application section, hardening section, and drive shaft of fiber winding on. EFFECT: reduced losses during transfer in manufacture of fiber. 12 cl, 3 dwg
