Draka Cable Graded Index Multimode Optical Fiber 100/125 µm Ideal For Industrial Military and Transport Applications Cable

Product Type: 100 / 125 µm 
Coating Type: Dual Layer Primary Coating (DLPC9)

Draka’s 100/125µm Graded-Index Multimode Optical Fiber has a 100µm core diameter, a 125µm cladding diameter and a 0.29 numerical aperture. The fiber is designed to be used in the 850 nm and/or the 1300 nm wavelength window. Its capturing capability for incident optical signal supports use in a variety of applications whereas the standard 125µm quartz diameter facilitates easy connector assembly.

The fiber is coated with a dual layer UV curable Acrylate, type DLPC9. Designed for more stringent tight-buffer cable applications, the fiber also performs perfectly in loose tube buffer constructions and demonstrates a high resistance to micro-bending.

The coating offers an excellent stable coating strip force over a wide range of environmental conditions and coating stripping leaves no residues on the bare glass fiber. In tight buffer applications the entire coating construction (tight buffer and primary coating) can in general very easily be stripped off.

The DLPC9 coated fibers show unique and high stable values for the dynamic stress corrosion susceptibility parameter (nd), which offers a greatly improved mechanical protection to the optical fiber when used in harsh environments.

Features: 
• Large core diameter (100 µm) and numerical aperture (0.29)
• Standard 125 µm cladding diameter
• Core produced with the Plasma-activated graded Chemical Vapor Deposition (PCVD) process

Benefits:
• The combination of these two high parameter values optimizes the fibers for applications where high coupling efficiency with one or multiple sources is necessary
• This diameter supports the use of standard connector ferrule dimensions. Apart from the apparent cost benefits, this also enables easier connectivity in special situations in networks or components where different fiber types are used simultaneously
• Because of the inherent high quality of the graded refractive index profile, the 100/125 µm fiber shows excellent modal bandwidth performance
