Fibre depolariser operates from 1300 to 1610nm
ProtoDel has launched a broadband inline fibre depolariser to operate over the entire telecomms transmission network window (1300-1610nm).
Variable optical attenuators and shutters
ProtoDel International is to launch a new range of variable optical attenuators and shutters for the shrinking telecomms market.
The new fibres offer wide operating temperature range from -65 to +400C, with long term operation at +360C in harsh operating environments.
Typically, the polyimide coated fibres available in the market are manufactured by a single polymer with many thin layers to form overall coating.
However, Fiberlogix uses two proprietary polymers to form dual layers on the fibre glass cladding.
The inner soft material protects the fibre from microbend forces and offers good adhesion to the glass cladding.
The outer thin layer is hard and provides abrasion resistance and minimises friction.
Because of its dual layer configuration and proprietary polymers, it is best suited for the applications where high strength and low bending loss is required such as strain, health and pressure monitoring in structural, geophysical and medical sensing.
The polyimide coating makes the fibre extremely robust and durable under harsh environments at elevated temperatures.
The product family includes single-mode fibre, compatible with SMF 28, high NA, multimode both 62.5/125 and 50/125 and 80um fibre.
The fibre offers tight and high performance optical and mechanical specifications with tight dimension tolerances.
It provides high uniformity and lot-to-lot consistency.
Fiberlogix is offering these products at very competitive pricing.
The new fibres join the company's other fibre products like peek coated, high temperature acrylate and high NA fibres.
