ClearCurve Multimode Mid-Temperature for Harsh Environments

Product catalog summary
Introduction: The document introduces Corning® ClearCurve® Multimode bend insensitive optical fibers designed for harsh environments, featuring mid-temperature acrylate-based coatings. These fibers are suitable for applications requiring tight bends and high bandwidth, such as aerospace, defense, structural health monitoring, and down-hole drilling.
Specifications: The fibers are rated for temperatures up to 180 °C, with full qualification at 165 °C. They are available in OM2, OM3, and OM4 bandwidths and offer optional hermetic coatings for enhanced protection and fatigue resistance. The recommended minimum bending radius is 7.5 mm, and they comply with ITU-Recommendations G651.1.
Optical Specifications: The operating wavelengths are 850, 1060, and 1300 nm, with maximum attenuation of 2.5 dB/km at 850 nm and 0.7 dB/km at 1300 nm. The numerical aperture is 0.20 ± 0.015. Bandwidth performance varies by type: OM2, OM3, and OM4, with high performance EMB at 850 nm reaching up to 4700 MHz-km.
Geometric, Mechanical, and Environmental Specifications: The core diameter is 50 ± 2.5 µm, cladding diameter is 125 ± 2.0 µm, and coating diameter is 245 ± 10 µm. The fibers are available in standard lengths of 500 m, 1 km, 2 km, and 5 km, with a proof test of 100 kpsi. Operating temperatures range from -60 to 150 or 180 °C, depending on the coating type.
Performance Characteristics: The refractive index profile is graded, with bend loss at a 7.5 mm radius being ≤ 0.2 dB at 850 nm and ≤ 0.50 dB at 1300 nm. The product codes indicate hermetic indicators, bandwidth, and coating types.
