DrakaEliteTM 200°C Silicone BendBright-Elite provides optimum t ransmission performance in both the 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelength operating ranges. It can be used in all cable constructions designed for high temperature environments, including loose tube, metal tube and central tube designs. The Silicone coating used by Draka protects the optical fiber during installation and operation in applications exposed to high temperatures, up to 200°C.

Silicone BendBright-Elite combines high temperature performance with ultra bend-insensitive fiber performance. Thanks to the superior quality of glass and its extreme insensitivity to optical bending loss, Draka’s 200°C Silicone BendBright-Elite is ab le to endure repeated very tight bending. While offering unparalleled performance, Draka’s 200°C Si licone BendBright-Elite is still based on conventional technology. It is an all solid silica fibers, with no voids or other hole structures. It can be easily fusion spliced by any commercial splicer and requires no specific connectorization procedure. Because it’s manufactured using Draka’s Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition process, 200°C Silicone BendBright-Elite has perfect control of all its characteristics both along the length of the fiber and in any radial direction.
