Silica Clad Silica/Deep UV
For UV applications, the best transmission is through
silica clad silica fibers. This fiber carries the “DUV”
designation as part of the Verity model number.

Borosilicate Glass
Glass fiber optic cable is the least costly, but should not
be used in applications below 400nm. Additionally, glass
bundles are fundamentally limited in length, even in
favorable wavelength regions. For example, the
maximum transmission of a 5’ (1.5m) long bundle is less
than 50 percent even at its most favorable wavelength.
This type of fiber optic cable carries the “V” designation
as part of the Verity model number.
