Spooled, unjacketed optical fiber primarily offers for those interested in making their own assemblies. Various core diameters from 50 µm to 600 µm can provide. To improve the fiber’s strength and flexibility, it was triple-coat it with a polyimide buffer before spooling. All types of unjacketed optical fiber was offered: High OH (high hydroxyl content for UV-VIS), Low OH (very low hydroxyl content for VIS-NIR) and Solarization-resistant (for UV-VIS). Each fiber type is optimized for use in a particular wavelength range.

• Resistance to UV effects: polyimide or aluminum buffers mitigate UV transmission degradation
• Jacketing options: stainless steel BX or silicone-coated steel monocoil with a Nomex braid
• Variety: assemblies available in different core diameters and lengths; custom options also available
• Convenient handling: precision SMA 905 connectors with extra-long knurled ferrules for easy manipulation
• Robust: great for field and industrial use, or other rough handling environments
