国际米兰中文官网; Fiber Performance Excels in Payout, Tether and Sensing Applications

April 24, 2012 Broendby Denmark - OFS and its 国际米兰中文官网, a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative fiber optic network products, is please to announce commercial availability of Accutether™ fiber in both standard and reduced diameter sizes. This singlemode fiber features excellent bend performance and is ideal for defense applications where the fiber experiences tight bend, is permanently coiled or where a coil is designed to payout. Proof tested to 100 or 200kpsi the fiber has high reliability and is available in long continuous lengths. The standard size fiber has a 245µm O.D. and the reduced diameter fiber features an 80µm cladding and 160µm O.D.

“A major advantage of this fiber is the excellent bend performance”, says Cathy Ciardiello, Market Manager for OFS defense related business. “Macrobend attenuation at 1550nm induced by 50turns around a 4mm mandrel is < 0.01dB. The tight dimensional control of geometric parameters helps ensure stability for consistent winding/ payout of coils”, adds Ms. Ciardiello, 国际米兰中文官网 dual acrylate coating system protects during deployment and lifetime.

Accutether™ coils can be ordered directly from the OFS 国际米兰中文官网 site in Broendby, Denmark.
