Product Type: 100 / 140 µm
Coating Type: Dual Layer Primary Coating (DLPC9)
Fiber:
This Draka’s Graded-Index 50/125 µm Multimode Specialty Fiber has a 50 µm core diameter and a
125 µm cladding diameter. The phosphorous free fiber is designed for use at 850 nm and/or 1300 nm
and can be used up to 1625 nm, showing additional low water-peak performance. This fiber is
particularly suited for sensor applications such as Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS).
The fiber complies with or exceeds ITU Recommendation G.651.1, IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.1 Optical Fiber Specification, TIA/EIA-492AAAB detail specification and Telcordia GR-20-CORE specification.
Coating:
This DrakaEliteTM Multimode Sensor 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.&
For higher temperatures other coatings are available (e.g. high temperature Acrylate, up to 150°C).
