Fiber Cables
A fiber cable is a single fiber assembly terminated with standard connectors or custom-made ferrules and an application-suitable protection tube.
Lightguide supplies custom-made standard fiber cables and high-power cables that are designed and assembled to ensure the best performance for the desired application.
The silica/silica step-index multi-mode fibers we produce and utilize in our fiber assembly manufacturing processes can be used for:
Our team will help you select the best fiber for the wavelengths you need, allowing you to specify the fiber structure and used materials, the thickness of the F-doped reflecting cladding, and the numerical aperture (NA) of the fiber, all in line with the special conditions and requirements of your application.
Advantages of cable assemblies:
- High Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) values
- Broad temperature, vacuum, and chemical resistance thresholds
- Can be used from deep UV to NIR
- Non-conductive cables
- Solarization (photodarkening) resistant cables
- Feed-through cables
- Endcap and tapered fiber cables
- Lengths ranging from a few cm to hundreds of meters
- Anti-Reflective coating (ARC) available
Standard materials:
- Any fiber from our portfolio can be used
- Standard terminations like SMA905, SMA905 freestanding, FC, D80, ST and others are available
- Custom-made terminations are produced in-house
- Protecting tubing materials like PVC, Kevlar-reinforced PVC, PVC-covered monocoil or squarelock, various metallic tubes, etc. are available
Applications:
- Light and laser delivery
- Analytical equipment
- Semiconductor manufacturing, process diagnostic and wafer inspection equipment
- Curing
- Ignition and combustion monitoring
- And many more
