Solarization-Resistant Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cables
SMA905-SMA905
or FC/PC-SMA905 Stainless Steel Ferrule
Ultraviolet Irradiated Silica Fiber
Description
These fiber optic patch cables are similar to our other multimode SMA-to-SMA or hybrid FC/PC-to-SMA patch cables, but incorporate solarization-resistant fiber for UV applications. Solarization refers to the formation of color centers within a fiber that leads to transmission degradation. These color centers form when exposed to light below 300 nm. Solarization-resistant fibers are thus desirable when working in the UV due to their superior transmission and prolonged performance. Typical applications for these fibers are spectroscopy and medical diagnostics.
High-OH fiber experiences significant transmission loss when exposed to UV radiation. In contrast, solarization-resistant fiber offers higher transmission at these UV wavelengths. For optimal performance, expose the fiber to UV radiation for 5 minutes prior to use in your application to allow initial degradation. After this time, equilibrium is reached and the fiber can be used normally.
The maximum power these cables can withstand is limited by the connector termination process.
Each patch cable includes two protective caps that shield the connector ends from dust and other hazards. Additional dust caps are also sold separately (Rubber Caps or Metal Threaded Caps for SMA connectors, Plastic Caps or Metal Threaded Caps for FC/PC connectors).
If you do not see a stock cable suitable for your application, please contact us for our Custom Patch Cables to request a cable that meets your specific needs.
