Length options:

  • 40mm to 40m (including connectors, tip-to-tip)
  • Plus or minus 0.1m standard tolerance unlessspecified
  • Longer & shorter assemblies available upon request

Fiber types available:

  • Borosilicate fiber - 30 or 50um diameter (0.55 or 0.62 NA)
  • ~380-2000nm transmission range
  • ~Ideal for bundles & low-cost applications
  • Silica/silica fiber - 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000um core (0.22 NA)
  • ~UV/VIS (300-1100nm)or VIS/NIR (400-2500nm) wavelengths

  • Single mode fibers
  • Plastic/Polymer fiber available - large core, high NA
  • Metal-coated fibers available - aluminum, gold

Termination/Connector options:

  • ST - keyed with alignment pins, quick release (no threads); telecom
  • FC - keyed with alignment pins, but threaded; telecom
  • SMA 905 - the standard for fiberoptic spectrometers
    • ~standard or enhanced styles
    • ~PEEK (non-conductive, for magnetic environments)
    • ~ceramic ferrule for tighter concentricity tolerance (laser & single mode fiber applications)
    • ~micro EDM linear array of fibers
  • Bare Fiber End - specify length to be exposed from jacket
    • ~cleaved or polished end
    • ~transition to jacket can be loose, potted with epoxy, or fixed with a connector (fiber protruding)
  • Ferrules & probes
    • ~1/4" & 1/8" diameter, 3" long stainless steel is standard
    • ~custom diameters & lengths
    • ~brass, copper, aluminum, PEEK, Delrin available (inquire about other materials)
    • ~90 degree or other radial bend

Material options for furcation blocks, probes, and ferrules:

  • Delrin - hard, machinable plastic, non-stick, black
  • Teflon - softer than Delrin, higher temperature resistance, white
  • PEEK - non conductive & non-corrosive - ideal for use in magnetic fields & corrosive environments
  • Aluminum - lightweight, low-cost, & non-corrosive
  • Stainless steel - corrosion-resistant, harder than aluminum or plastics

Jacket materials available:

  • PVDF zip tube - low cost & flexible, but kinks are possible
  • Silicone monocoil - crush resistant, will not kink, higher temperature
  • Fully interlocked stainless steel BX - even higher temp & crush resistance; fiber protected from snapping (unlike fully expanded BX)
  • Medical silicone sheath - FDA & food grade, autoclaveable if assembly is built with the proper process (please specify)
  • Stay-put stainless steel interlock - fully interlocked, holds shape once bent
  • PVC monocoil - crush resistant, but lower temperature range & no strength member
  • Some jackets available in multiple colors - inquire for selection
