Graded-index multi-mode optical fibers, optimized for signal transmission at 850 and 1300 nm, are available with 50/125, 62.5/125 and 100/140 µm core/cladding diameters, featuring large bandwidth and low attenuation. These Standard Communication Grade Fibers have a 250 µm acrylate buffer coating, allowing continuous operation in the -65°C to +135°C temperature range.
Cabled standard fibers have a 900 µm outer jacket, surrounded by a layer of Kevlar^® strands for added strength and protection. An outer PVC cable jacket, 3 mm in diameter, provides additional environmental protection. Cabled fibers have an operating temperature of -20°C to +80°C, and are identified by the -C suffix in their model number.
High-temperature, multi-mode communication grade fibers are also available. The polyimide buffer coating applied to these fibers extends their upper operating range to +375°C and increases their chemical and abrasion resistance, enabling their use in harsher environments. High-temperature fibers are identified by the -T suffix in their model number.
Patch cords are available in several standard lengths with FC, ST, and SMA connectors.
For custom options please contact a Newport Applications Engineer.
