Product catalog summary
Overview: Corning® HI 1060 FLEX and RC HI 1060 FLEX are specialty optical fibers known for their high index and bend insensitivity. They are manufactured using Corning's patented Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD) process, ensuring uniformity and reliability. These fibers are optimized for use in smaller components and EDFAs, offering ultra-low bending loss, low insertion loss, and excellent spliceability.
Applications:
  • Pigtails for bend-insensitive applications
  • Premium grade WDM couplers for EDFAs
  • Tap couplers, splitters, and combiners
  • CATV couplers
  • Ultra-compact components requiring small bend radii
  • Low loss fused devices for C-Band and L-Band
Features:
  • Consistency and uniformity with OVD process
  • Dual acrylate coating for protection and mechanical robustness
  • Ultra-low bending loss and low excess loss
  • Low splice loss to SMF-28e+® fiber and Corning ER 1550C3
  • Excellent geometry control
  • RC HI 1060 FLEX offers 80 µm diameter for sub-miniature packaging
