When installing sensors in confined spaces, how can signal attenuation be avoided by selecting bend-insensitive fibers (e.g., G.657)?
When installing sensors in confined spaces, using bend-insensitive fibers like G.657 is an effective method to minimize signal attenuation caused by bending loss.
G.657 optical fibers are specifically designed with enhanced bending performance compared to standard G.652D fibers. They achieve this by having a smaller minimum bending radius, allowing them to be bent more sharply without significant light leakage and signal degradation. This characteristic is crucial in applications with tight installation spaces, ensuring the integrity of the optical signal transmitted through the fiber optic sensors.
OFSCN offers various types of bend-insensitive fibers, including those conforming to the G.657 standard. You can find more details about our G.657 optical fibers here:
