Fiber: This DrakaEliteTM Step-Index Component Optical Fiber provides optimum single-mode performances at low operating wavelengths. This fiber has a 5 µm core diameter and a 125 µm cladding diameter 

Coating: Draka’s Step-Index Component Fibers are coated with a dual layer UV curable Acrylate, type DLPC9. The coating is designed for tight-buffer cable applications, demonstrating 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 very easily be stripped off. 

Process: This Single-Mode fiber is manufactured using the Plasma-activated Chemical Vapor Deposition (PCVD and APVDTM ) process.
