Product Overview

PFP's specialty multi-mode fibers are ideal for a variety of diverse applications. They are capable of withstanding extreme environments and large temperature swings. Features include step index and graded index configurations, numerical apertures from 0.06 to 0.45 and core sizes from 10 ?m to 700 ?m. All fibers are available with a high temperature acrylate, silicone, or polyimide coating.

Applications:

Telecom FDDI, FTTH, etc.
Optical pump & beam delivery
Robust duty in extreme environments
CATV and data comm

Features & Benefits:

Operate over wide frequency range - One fiber serves broad applications
Exceptional uniformity and core/clad concentricity - Minimize fiber induced signal artifacts
Higher proof test levels - Longest life expectancy
