Fiberguide’s Silica Core/Silica Clad/Polymer Coated fibers are primarily used in photonics applications where individual or bundled large core (> 50µm) multimode fibers are needed for the transmission of optical energy. These fibers can be coated with a variety of polymers or metalized, for extreme temperature performance.

FIBER SPECIFICATIONS
