Product Details

This DrakaEliteTM RadHard 50 μm core diameter OM3/OM4 multimode fibre (MMF) can be used for high irradiative environments (e.g. gamma rays, X-flash, neutrons protons) up to a dose of about 10 kGy. For extreme irradiative environments (some MGy dose) DrakaEliteTM Super RadHard 50 μm core diameter MMF is recommended. Note: 1 Gy = 100 Rad.

This Germanium-doped 50 μm core diameter OM3/OM4 RadHard MMF has been qualified and approved by the U.S. Defense Supply Center, Columbus (DSCC) in accordance with the U.S. Military MIL-PRF-49291/1 specification and offers increased laser-launch bandwidth (OM3 / OM4 quality).

Because Radiation Induced Attenuation (RIA) is a strong function of time after dose, dose rate, temperature, system operational wavelength, and system operational power, assessing the RIA performance of fibres should be conducted as close to conditions in the final application as possible.

The Draka 50 μm core diameter RadHard MMF can be used in all cable constructions, including loose tube, tight buffered, ribbon and central tube designs. This fibre complies with or exceeds IEC 60793-2-10 category A1a.2 and A1a.3 Optical Fibre Specification, TIA-492AAAC / 492AAAD and Telcordia GR-20-Core.

Prysmian Group’ fibre plant Draka Comteq Fibre B.V. in Eindhoven , Netherlands, is MIL-STD-790 certified.
