In fields such as petroleum and petrochemicals, energy and electricity, industrial manufacturing, and special sensing, the coating performance of traditional optical fibers will rapidly degrade in environments above 85°C, seriously affecting the long-term reliability and service life of the optical fiber.

Thank you for sharing this information regarding high-temperature optical fiber requirements.
As noted, traditional optical fibers typically face coating degradation when temperatures exceed 85°C. For industrial environments in petroleum, power, and specialized sensing where temperatures reach mid-range levels, standard fibers are no longer reliable.
To address these challenges, we provide a specialized solution designed for stable performance in these conditions:
This fiber is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between standard telecommunication fibers and ultra-high-temperature fibers (like polyimide or metal-coated versions).
Key Technical Advantages:
- Temperature Range: Reliable operation from -50°C to +120°C.
- Specialized Coating: Utilizes a high-temperature resistant acrylate coating that maintains mechanical integrity and optical performance where traditional coatings fail.
- Standard Compatibility: Based on G.652D glass preforms (9/125/255μm), ensuring compatibility with standard fusion splicers and components while offering superior heat resistance.
- Optional Enhancements: Carbon coating can be added to provide an additional layer of protection against hydrogen darkening or moisture in harsh environments.
Standard Product Visuals:
This fiber serves as an ideal medium for both specialized communications and as a sensing element in distributed fiber optic sensing systems (DTS/DAS) operating in moderate heat.
