This is a high-quality selection for applications requiring tight routing or small-diameter packaging. OFSCN® G.657 Optical Fiber provides excellent resistance to macro-bending loss, which is critical when integrating fibers into miniaturized sensors or compact armored cables.
Technical Overview
The OFSCN® G.657 Optical Fiber is a standard bend-insensitive single-mode fiber (available in G.657 A2 or B3 variants). Its primary advantage lies in its ability to maintain signal integrity even when subjected to small bend radii, making it superior to standard G.652D fiber in complex structural monitoring or tight-space communication environments.
Key Specifications:
- Core Diameter: 9μm
- Cladding Diameter: 125μm
- Coating Diameter: 255μm
- Coating Material: High-quality Polyacrylate (Standard)
- Compatibility: Fully compatible with OFSCN® 85°C Seamless Steel Tube Fiber Cable and various distributed fiber optic sensing systems (DTS/DAS/DSS).
