Singlemode Fibers Metal Coated Series: Gold/Aluminum

The featured Singlemode (SM 9/125) metal coated fiber was designed to provide optimum performance in both the 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelength operating ranges, according to G.652 A/B standards. The fiber is supplied with either 24 kt Gold or Aluminum coatings. As an electric conductor, these types of coatings provide the user with the ability to terminate the fiber directly to the coating, supporting hermetically sealed assemblies. Gold and Aluminum coated fibers are most capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh environ- ments compared to polymer coated fibers. A dedicated manufacturing process of these fibers result in low stress corrosion susceptibility, and thus offering an improved mechanical protection to the optical fiber when used in the most challenging harsh environments.

All metal coated Singlemode fibers are 100 % quality tested to stringent test procedures in accordance with the Telecom- munications Industry Association (TIA/EIA) and international Fiber Optic Test Procedures (FOTP). Custom specific tests to verify application requirements are available.
