This high-temperature resistant optical fiber is a core product in our specialty fiber line, specifically designed for extreme environments where standard acrylate coatings would fail.
Technical Overview of OFSCN® 300℃ SM Polyimide Optical Fiber
The OFSCN® 300℃ SM Polyimide Optical Fiber utilizes a specialized polyimide coating that maintains structural integrity and optical performance across a vast temperature gradient.
Key Technical Specifications:
- Operating Temperature: -200℃ to +350℃ (Excursions up to 400℃).
- Fiber Geometry: 9μm Core / 125μm Cladding / 155μm Coating.
- Core Material: Standard doped core (pure silica core available for radiation resistance or specific sensing needs).
- Standards: Based on G.652D; bend-insensitive versions (G.657 A2/B3) are also available upon request.

Why Polyimide Coating?
Unlike traditional buffers, polyimide is chemically bonded to the glass cladding. This prevents the “piston effect” and ensures minimal signal attenuation even at 300°C. It is the industry standard for:
- Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DTSS/DTS): Providing accurate strain and temperature transfer.
- Aerospace & Oil/Gas: Reliable communication in high-heat zones.
- Medical Sterilization: Withstanding repeated autoclaving cycles.
For applications requiring even higher mechanical protection, this fiber is often integrated into our OFSCN® 300°C Distributed Fiber Temperature Sensor, which adds a seamless stainless steel tube jacket.
