Product Details

This DrakaEliteTM RadHard 62.5 μm core diameter 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 62.5 μm core diameter 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-49291/6 specification.

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 DrakaEliteTM 62.5 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 A1b Optical Fibre Specification, TIA-492AAAA and Telcordia GR-20-Core.

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

Features:
• RadHard behaviour
