Draka Cable High Temperature Acrylate BendBright XS Bend Insensitive Fiber Cable

Product Type: 9 / 125 µm, G.652.D, G.657.A2 and G.657.B2 
Coating Type: High Temperature Resistant Acrylate

Draka’s High Temperature Resistant Acrylate coated BendBright-XS Single-Mode Fiber aims at providing premium transmission performances, in all bands from 1310 to 1625 nm, in temperature range from –60°C up to 150°C.

Taking benefit of Draka patented trench design, being made with Draka proprietary PCVD process, Draka’s BendBright-XS fibers offer unrivalled resistance to micro-bendings even at the highest wavelengths. It makes them the favourite fibers for low temperature operations when the coating shrinkage could limit the transmission performances.

The specific acrylate coating used by Draka extends BendBright-XS performance to the high temperature end. It protects the optical fiber during installation and operation in applications exposed to temperature up to 150°C.

This fiber can be used in all cable constructions designed for high temperature environments, including loose tube, metal tube and central tube designs.

Features:
• High temperature resistant Acrylate coating
• Low sensitivity to ionizing radiation, thanks to its PCVD made fiber core section
• Fully compatible with other G.652 fibers in terms of transmission, connections and installation tools
• Excellent high temperature resistant Acrylate coating manufacturing process
• Low macro-bending loss in the 7 to 15 mm radius range
• Low micro-bending loss  

Benefits:
• Supports application in environments with both constant high temperature (up to 150°C) and fluctuating temperature
• Useful for application of fibers in a harsh environment in presence of both elevated temperature and ionizing radiation
• Open standards for multi-sourcing worldwide  
• Superior geometry, uniformity and homogeneity  
• Allows shorter radius storage of fiber over-length to more compact installation
• Allows low temperature operation and highly demanding cable designs including ribbons
