The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an optical fibre suitable for high transmission rates, which method comprises: i) supplying one or more glass forming precursors, and possibly a dopant, to a quartz substrate tube, ii) forming a plasma in the quartz substrate tube for the purpose of bringing about a reaction mixture so as to form glass layers, which may or may not be doped, on the interior of the substrate tube, iii) collapsing the substrate tube obtained in step ii) into a perform while heating, and iv) drawing an optical fibre from the perform while heating. The present invention furthermore relates to an optical fibre suitable for high transmission rates.
